NISHA PAHUJA – To Kill A Tiger

TO KILL A TIGER is the story of one fathers' fight against everyone in his small village in northern India after his 13 year old daughter is raped by three local men. Supporting his daughter was virtually unheard of and his journey unprecedented. The locals suggested she marry one of attackers to protect her honor.

In our conversation with director NISHA PAHUJA, she tells us how the film was originally following another subject and the prosecution of the three men was a side issue. But in the edit room in Toronto it became clear that they had to pivot and make this the main story. The film is being released in select theaters starting this week and is well worth the effort to view. Watch our conversation on the Westdoc site.
