A documentary cannot create something that already exists so rampantly in Indian society, but it can expose these people and their sick mentality to the public. People think that once these rapists are caught, sentenced and thrown in jail, that justice is served, but no, these guys are not sorry for their actions, no repentance, no remorse, no realisation, nothing, if anything, they get a roof over their heads, food, a daily routine, and a place to hang out with others like them, probably a better deal than what they had outside.
These guys need to be shamed, society needs to know what they're dealing with, sweeping it underneath the carpet out of fear is giving more power to them, you can't start to tackle a problem if you're not aware of it.
A documentary cannot create but it can surely fuel such feelings further.
People are aware of what happens. But this is a culture that would rather lock up girls or avoid them than tackle men.
I have often discussed this with elders and most feel males are males and they are uncontrollable. Even parents fear their grown sons or encourage them. Most people then shift the onus to girls instead.
There are proverbs like toofan ki niyat theek nahin, kashti ko khud sambhalna hoga. Compare men to storm that is inevitable and women to hapless boat! The reactions even online proved how even highlights from documentary were reinforcing fear than start a serious debate on attitudes.
We have immense coverage on these issues but everytime there is same standard response - good girls don't get raped, 90% cases are fake, jeans, films or junk food are responsible etc. It's not achieved much except voyeurism and outrage.
