Mindy Kaling, Dev Patel to Executive Produce Sexual Assault Documentary ‘To Kill a Tiger’
variety.comRebecca Rubin Film and Media Reporter Mindy Kaling and Dev Patel have signed on to executive produce the documentary “To Kill a Tiger,” a gripping story about a father’s pursuit of justice in rural India.
Directed and written by Nisha Pahuja (“The World Before Her”), the film charts the emotional journey of Ranjit, a farmer in Jharkhand, who forces a social reckoning after his 13-year-old daughter is the victim of a gang rape. “Gender equity and justice within India have been central to my work over the past decade,” said Pahuja. “With ‘To Kill a Tiger,’ I encountered a story that simply had to be told because of the bravery, honesty, and resilience of the family at the heart of it.
I’m grateful for Mindy and Dev’s belief in this film and its capacity to empower and serve as a catalyst for change, while building on the work of many activists and organizations.
Our mission is to ensure this family and these issues are given the platform they deserve.” “To Kill a Tiger” was awarded best documentary at the 2023 Palm Springs International Film Festival.
