It's the Brian Laird show on WNYC. Good morning again everyone.

Now we conclude our annual series of interviews with the creators of the five Oscar-nominated

feature-length documentaries. While much of the media focuses on best actor and actress or the big hit films,

Barbie Oppenheimer, whatever, our attention tends more to the non-fiction side of things,

the documentaries. We've things, the documentaries.

We've spoken with the creators of Bobby Wine,

the People's President, about an opposition leader in Uganda.

Four daughters, about a mother and her daughters in Tunisia,

the eternal memory about personal and societal

remembering and forgetting in Chile,

and 20 days in Mariopold yesterday about the Russian invasion of that

Ukrainian city. Like the other four films in this category today's is set in a

country that's not the United States, India.

To Kill a Tiger is the name of the film,

and it's not about hunting a feline predator,

but about a father's devotion to his daughter

and his almost unprecedented fight to bring to justice in

court the three men who abducted and sexually assaulted her.

To Kill a Tiger was written and directed by Nisha Pahuja and she joins us to talk about the family's journey and her own as a filmmaker.

Welcome back to WNYC. Thank you so much for coming on, Nisha.

Thank you for having me, Brian.

Lovely to be here.
