The brutal gang rape and murder of a student on a bus in Delhi in
2012 provoked widespread shock and outrage and put the spotlight
on violence against women in India.

A recent documentary about it provoked huge controversy. The film
called India's Daughter featured an interview with one of the
five convicted rapists, who expressed no remorse and blamed the
victim for fighting back.

The Delhi government prevented the film being shown in India and
there were demands by the Indian government for it not to be
aired by the BBC. HARDtalk talks to the documentary's director,
Leslee Udwin. Was her film sensationalist and voyeuristic?
