India. The land of many cultures and many enchantments. The land of many colors and smells and so many festivals. Also, renowned around the world for it's (lack) of human rights: and the hot topic here, women's rights.
Pink addresses this in a movie on Netflix.
The stars, are three girls (I say girls because they are about 23-25 years old)
Taapsee Panu, Kirti Kulhari, and Andrea Taring star with Ambitah Bachchan in this story about a retired lawyer and three girls who were wrongfully accused of attempted murder because a group of guys raped one of the girls, and the girls went to the police to complain.
This is an up close and very uncomfortable movie, showing what it is like in a rape culture society, and how these girls fight back with the law. (which are really poorly devised for women).
This movie is frustrating because I am a woman and love justice for anyone. But, it makes sit that much more in your face with the raw-ness and that is what the producers and directors want. For people to be out raged at how women are treated in not just India, but many cultures.
Long Rock and I had a discussion about this topic a couple days ago. I was saying how throughout time, "No" meant "No" to a woman and how men don't take it seriously. In fact, women are objectified, and I have deep feelings about this.
So, this Netflix movie definitely gets my vote! It left me in tears and was really profound.
Thank you to the producers for making such a gut wrenching movie. I am just going to say "Wow".
