<h2><strong>What is To Kill A Tiger about?</strong></h2>

<p>The documentary <em>To Kill A Tiger</em> follows the lives of a village family in the state of Jharkhand in India. They are seen campaigning for justice after their teenage daughter was brutally raped. Things turn sour when the family faces insurmountable pressure to drop the charges even after the father of the 13-year-old girl gets the men accused of rape arrested. The film’s synopsis suggests that their “relief is short-lived, as the villagers and their leaders launch a sustained campaign to force the family to drop the charges.”</p>
