Coldplay’s Chris Martin wants everyone to watch banned Nirbhaya documentary 'India’s Daughter'
The band's Twitter handle urged people to watch the documentary about Nirbhaya, which has been banned in India.
On Thursday, Coldplay tweeted: "Please do watch the new India's Daughter film -- and support them in their campaign against rape. CM"
India’s Daughter was banned in India.In the video, the rapist Mukesh was quoted saying: “A decent girl won’t roam around at nine o’clock at night. A girl is far more responsible for rape than a boy. Housework and housekeeping is for girls, not roaming in discos and bars at night doing wrong things, wearing wrong clothes.”
Leslee Udwin had defended the documentary saying: “You asked me why did I have to meet with the rapists? Because I knew to get a meaningful answer to my question, why do men rape; why does violent rape happen, I had to go to the source. I had to hear it from them. I had to sit and ask them a hundred questions about who the significant women in their lives were, what they think of women, how should a good woman behave, what makes a bad woman. I needed to understand the mentality otherwise I would have made a superficial documentary.” (Read: Hey India's Daughter, why loiter? )
