'To Kill a Tiger' Trailer Out: Oscar-Nominated Documentary Tackles Justice, Grit, And Father's Love

The trailer of the Oscar-nominated documentary 'To Kill a Tiger' has hit the internet with a bang. Bollywood-Hollywood actress Priyanka Chopra, actor Dev Patel, Rupi Kaur, and Mindy Kaling are the executive producers.

The trailer begins with a voiceover asking, "Is there something fundamentally wrong with our country?" It then highlights concerns about the safety of women in India.

The trailer deals with the plight of Ranjit, a farmer, desperately seeking justice for his daughter who fell victim to a brutal gangrape. The scene then transitions to the young victim, still a schoolgirl, revealing how she was threatened by her assailants into silence about the harrowing incident.

Despite society's indifferent behaviour, Ranjit continues to fight for justice even as he faces constant threats from the perpetrators. "When I think of my daughter, my fear goes away," he adds in the clip.

The movie, directed by Canadian filmmaker Nisha Pahuja, was recently nominated for the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature Film alongside 'Bobi Wine: The People's President', 'The Eternal Memory', '20 Days in Mariupol' and 'Four Daughters'.

The documentary has been acquired by Netflix.

"I'm so proud to join the incredible team of the Academy Award nominated documentary @tokillatigerdoc , and to announce that @netflix has acquired the global distribution rights to this powerful feature directed by @nishappics . When I first watched this film in 2022, I was immediately captivated by its poignant narrative, depicting a father's valiant struggle within the judicial system to secure justice for his daughter. This project serves as a testament to the boundless love and unyielding determination of a devoted father for his cherished daughter," Priyanka wrote about the documentary.

She added, This hard hitting piece of art also really hits home on so many levels, but personally, I was born in the state of Jharkhand (where the survivor and her father are from), and as the daughter of a father that was my forever champion...I was moved to pieces. I cannot wait for audiences around the world to discover this moving story."
