Nominated for Best Documentary Feature at the 2024 Academy Awards, To Kill a Tiger is set in a small Indian village. Directed by Delhi-born Nisha Pahuja, an Emmy-nominated filmmaker based in Toronto, the film had its world premiere at the 2022 Toronto International Film Festival. It received the Amplify Voices Award for Best Canadian Feature Film. The documentary chronicles Ranjit’s challenging journey to seek justice for his 13-year-old daughter, who was abducted and subjected to sexual assault by three men. The film has been produced by Cornelia Principe and David Oppenheim.
The official website of the film reads, “Ranjit goes to the police, and the men are arrested. But Ranjit’s relief is short-lived, as the villagers and their leaders launch a sustained campaign to force the family to drop the charges. A cinematic documentary, ‘To Kill a Tiger’ follows Ranjit’s uphill battle to find justice for his child”.
The other four nominees in the Best Documentary Feature category for the Oscars are Bobi Wine: The People’s President, The Eternal Memory, Four Daughters, and 20 Days in Mariupol.
Greta Gerwig’s Barbie, Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer, and Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon are up for top awards at the Oscars 2024. Meanwhile, the internet is upset as Margot Robbie and director Greta Gerwig didn’t get Oscar nominations for their work on Barbie. Some are also unhappy about Ryan Gosling’s nomination, especially since Margot Robbie didn’t get recognized for Best Actress or Best Supporting Actress. Ryan Gosling got nominated for Best Supporting Actor, and the song “I’m Just Ken” that he sang was nominated for Best Original Song. America Ferrera, who stars in Barbie, did get a nomination for Best Supporting Actress.
