What Is To Kill A Tiger About?
The film by Nisha Pahuja chronicles the terrifying tale of a Jharkhand family and their quest to prosecute those responsible for a sexual attack on a thirteen-year-old girl.

In its description of the film, TIFF mentioned, "While aspects of this story might seem culturally specific, there is much in To Kill A Tiger that speaks more broadly to rape culture and the silencing of women. Many people in the village insist that the perpetrators' "naughty" behaviour must have been provoked by Ranjit's daughter, but she needs to be reassured that what happened wasn't her fault. When it comes to rape, shame is wielded like a blunt instrument. But the story of Ranjit and his fearless daughter, enduring so many voices clamouring for them to stand down, is one of remarkable strength and defiance."
