'India’s Daughter': The true story behind the banned film

The news of Jyoti Singh’s brutal gang rape and murder in Delhi in 2012 sparked worldwide outrage and galvanized a movement to end the culture of silence on violence against women. The horrific crime and the debate it ignited are the focus of the new documentary “India’s Daughter” by British filmmaker Leslee Udwin. Yahoo News and Finance anchor Bianna Golodryga sat down this week with Udwin, along with the film’s composer, Krsna Solo, and editor, Anuradha Singh, in New York. The film, which includes an interview with one of the convicted rapists, Mukesh Singh, has been the source of a great deal of controversy in India. On March 4, it was banned from broadcast by the Indian government.

There is no basis for a ban in a democracy where free speech is one of the major pillars of a constitutional society.
