BBC Documentry: India's Daughter


A BBC documentry on indian incident of gang rape.
Film on brutal attack on Jyoti Singh broadcast in UK on Wednesday night despite being banned by Indian authorities

The BBC said it made the decision to bring forward the airing of India’s Daughter following international interest in the program about the brutal rape in December 2012 of 23-year-old student Jyoti Singh.


Storyville: India's Daughter documents the gang rape and murder of 23-year-old medical student Jyoti Singh, and the subsequent unprecedented riots and protests.
The documentary also includes interviews with the two lawyers who defended the men convicted of Jyoti's rape and murder.
“A decent girl won't roam around at 9 o'clock at night. A girl is far more responsible for rape than a boy.”
“When being raped, she shouldn't fight back. She should just be silent and allow the rape. Then they'd have dropped her off after 'doing her', and only hit the boy."
"Housework and housekeeping is for girls, not roaming in discos and bars at night doing wrong things, wearing wrong clothes. About 20 per cent of girls are good."
His statements, brazenly unrepentant, have caused a great furore of outrage on social media. But then Singh was part of a group of thugs who repeatedly brutalized a young woman with an iron rod. Did we still need additional proof of his bestiality? Or is it somehow more real because it now comes with a BBC certification?
