Indian ban on rape film is 'international suicide', says director

India's Daughter director Leslee Udwin

The film, India’s daughter was broadcasted in Britain last week on BBC4 and many youtube users have recorded the programme on the website. It is now available on iplayer and the police has said that the ban was imposed as the comments made in the film by one of those who were convicted of the crime created a negative atmosphere of fear and tension.
I think that this is correct as rape films are emotional subject film directors to be exploring. Many feminists would argue that rape is something that females find hard to talk about and making a film based on rape doesn't make it any easier.
