While debates on the merits of the film and what it achieves could wait till the documentary releases on March 8, India’s Daughter seems to be on sound legal grounds. “There is no law that states a journalist cannot interview a convict or an accused as long as it is voluntary and backed by legal advice. The prisoner being interviewed should have complete understanding of the implication of the press interaction and there should be no problem as long as he or she is not being trapped into an interview,” says Colin Gonsalves, Founder Director of Human Rights Law Network.
