To Kill a Tiger, a film about a man in Jharkhand who takes on the fight of his life to demand justice for his 13-year-old daughter, the survivor of a sexual assault, was nominated for the Best Documentary Feature at the 2024 Academy Awards on Tuesday.

Indian touch at the Oscars: To Kill A Tiger in best documentary race

The film, a Canadian production directed by Delhi-born Nisha Pahuja, follows Ranjit's uphill battle after the three men who abducted and brutally assaulted his daughter find support in villagers who force the family to drop the charges.

"We are here, at this moment, because a farmer in India, his wife and their 13-year-old daughter had the courage to demand her human rights," Pahuja said after the Academy announced the nominations. Pahuja, who has previously been nominated for an Emmy for her 2012 documentary The World Before Her, is a Canadian citizen based in Toronto.

"It is our hope and intent that this film will encourage other survivors to seek justice, and that men stand with us in our fight for gender equality," she said.
