The documentary should not be banned. We are all allowed to voice and speak out, especially for something as serious as this. It is vital to have these discussions. Is a democracy that restricts speech, expression and debate a real democracy? What kind of world are we living in?
The documentary makes a connection between patriarchal views of the culprits and lawyers and the rape itself. This is a leap of logic not supported in facts. Patriarchy may be wrong, unjust and regressive but there is scant evidence that it causes people to rape. I believe that if someone or their family wants to speak out they should, and if someone who raped someone or murdered someone they should have the right to tell their story to so we can learn why they did what they did and figure out how to stop it.
