Event Location: 
Union Room 382B

In Delhi in December 2012, the rape and death of a 23 year old female medical student sparked unprecedented protests throughout India and led to the first glimmers of a change of mindset. Interwoven into recounting the crime and the aftermath, we learn about lives, values and mindsets of the rapists whom the filmmakers have had exclusive access to before they were to hang. Here, we examine the society and values which spawn such violent acts with the hope to motivate positive change.

The screening will be followed by a discussion facilitated by a member of the UNT faculty or community.
