To Kill a Tiger plot
"A man. His daughter. The trial of their lives."
When the thirteen-year-old daughter of Ranjit, a farmer from India, is raped by three men, he discovers that they are acquaintances. The police arrest the perpetrators, but the family's relief is short-lived as the villagers and their leaders force Ranjit to drop the charges. They demand that the girl marry one of her rapists – a tried and true community solution. According to them, this is the only way to restore her honor and that of the community. In this documentary, Ranjit defies their orders and embarks on an arduous journey to find justice, navigating both the labyrinth of India's courts and the increasing dangers in his village.
