Director of the Documentary India鈥檚 Daughter - Leslee Udwin

Was Leslee Udwin's documentary about the Delhi gang rape sensationalist?

The brutal gang rape and murder of a student on a bus in Delhi in 2012 provoked widespread shock and outrage and put the spotlight on violence against women in India.

A recent documentary about it provoked huge controversy. The film called India's Daughter featured an interview with one of the five convicted rapists, who expressed no remorse and blamed the victim for fighting back.

The Delhi government prevented the film being shown in India and there were demands by the Indian government for it not to be aired by the 麻豆社. HARDtalk talks to the documentary's director, Leslee Udwin. Was her film sensationalist and voyeuristic?
