Following the gang rape incident that took place in New Delhi in 2012, Deepa Mehta directs a film that searches for an answer to the question: “What is it that creates monsters?” Along with twelve actors, Mehta investigates the root causes of such an outrageous atrocity. The film also seeks to find answers with regards to the life, family, dreams and hopes of one of the victims of the gang rape. Could the way society define these men as “monsters” be the very reason the issue is still superficially treated? Despite the fact that the film only tangentially responds to this question, it breaks new ground for reflecting on this horrible violence inflicted on women.
