The 96th Academy Awards nominations have been announced, and there’s a notable achievement for India. The Indian documentary film ‘To Kill A Tiger’ has secured a nomination in the best documentary feature film category. Released theatrically in North America last year, the documentary recounts a disturbing incident in Jharkhand involving the gangrape of a 13-year-old.
Directed by Nisha Pahuja, based in Toronto, Canada, ‘To Kill A Tiger’ has garnered critical acclaim globally for its depiction of a man’s journey and his enduring love for his daughter amidst unprecedented challenges. The film’s nuanced handling of this complex issue has received praise. This nomination marks the second consecutive year that an Indian film has been recognized in the same category, following last year’s nomination of ‘All That Breathes.’
