To Kill a Tiger

A decade following her acclaimed 2012 documentary The World Before Her, which highlighed the experiences of girls in India, Nisha Pahuja returns with the powerful To Kill a Tiger. Following the brutal rape of his 13-year-old daughter, Ranjit pursues a conviction against the assailants in the face of tremendous social pressure to back down. Through the intimate, powerful story of this family’s efforts to get justice, the film shines a light on gender-based violence in a country where rape is frequently reported and rarely convicted.  

TIFF named To Kill a Tiger the Best Canadian Film of the 2022 festival, and one of the year’s best in their annual Canada’s Top Ten list.
