Actor Priyanka Chopra Jonas recently on-boarded Oscar-nominated documentary To Kill a Tiger as one of its executive producers. She joins other notable names like Dev Patel, Mindy Kaling and Rupi Kaur among others. The actor shared the trailer of the film, which will soon stream on Netflix.
“Trailer. Truly remarkable,” the actor wrote, sharing the trailer on Instagram. The movie is the tale of a father, whose 13-year-old daughter is gang-raped. Chopra directed the movie directed by Indian-Canadian director Nisha Pahuja at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF). She instantly took to the film.
On Sunday, when she announced her onboarding as an executive producer, she wrote that the film felt personal to her, as the father and daughter hail from Jharkhand, where the actor was born. “This hard-hitting piece of art also really hits home on so many levels, but personally, I was born in the state of Jharkhand (where the survivor and her father are from), and as the daughter of a father who was my forever champion…I was moved to pieces. I cannot wait for audiences around the world to discover this moving story,” she wrote.
The film has been nominated in the best documentary feature film category at the Oscars. At the end of the trailer, which is sure to move you, the girl (rape survivor) can be heard saying, “To do good, to build a good future, isn't that why God created us in the first place?”
