What was the intention of the documentary?
Was it to understand the mindset that leads to a violent crime? Then one incident and the views of a single victimizer from a single country does not depict it. How is it relevant to any other country? Statistically India has far fewer rapes per 100000 as compiled by the United Nations in 2012- just 1.8 compared to England at 28.8, US at 26.6, South Africa at 132.4. Even Germany where an Indian student was denied recently stating the 'rape problem in India' has 9.7. So obviously India is not the only country with the problem.
Was it as Leslee claims a gift to India for the incredible active response of the people? Then why was it telecast elsewhere before it was in India in spite of the opposition? There was no new information or analysis psychological or otherwise. No mention of the high positions women have held and continue to hold in Indian society or the actual challenges of bringing speedy justice for the victims. Everything there is already known to Indians.
In any hostage situation it is always advised that the hostage cooperate until he /she can escape, be alert and not anger the offender. It was a poorly researched emotional saga based on opinions of a few people not a documentary worth wasting time on.
