India's Daughter

[indago]

In India, December 2012, Jyoti Singh, a medical student, was violently raped on a bus by several men. She died in the hospital. The "corrosive social and cultural attitudes" of India were blamed for the incident.


It was the Indian public's outburst of anger over the attack, with Singh made an immediate symbol of the nation's too-often unanswered violence against women, that propelled TV and movie producer Udwin to take on her first documentary. "India's Daughter," which includes Susan Sarandon among its executive producers, airs 10 p.m. EST Monday on PBS' "Independent Lens."

It's a shame what they did to that girl. After raping her, one of them reached inside her and pulled out her intestines. Then they threw her off the bus onto the side of the road. She survived in the hospital for a few days, but without her internal organs, there was nothing they could do for her. She died with her mother beside her in the hospital bed.

Gotta disagree with this:

"They are not monsters, they are human," she said.

I think the barrel started to rot after the infected apples were placed in there. :)
