Please Arrest Me
In India, rape within a marriage is not a crime. To fight this unjust law, RIT Foundation needed to raise awareness. So we got an activist to turn himself in to the police, pretending he raped his wife. Within minutes, he was freed. We captured the whole process — from him interviewing lawyers, victims, and women on the street, to him going into the police station with hidden cameras and having authorities say that raping your wife is not a crime. The documentary triggered fierce reactions from supporters and naysayers and was awarded by film festivals and critics worldwide.
