After the Rape (2008)
In 2002, a woman from the Pakistani countryside named Mukhtar Mai made world headlines. After the rumour that her 12-year-old brother was having a relationship with a woman from another clan, Mukhtar was gang-raped by order of the village council. Instead of committing suicide, she spoke out and the six men were sentenced to death, although five of them were eventually acquitted. Against all the codes of her society, Mukhtar took her case to the Supreme Court. After the Rape doesn't comment on the outcome of her case. What the film does show is the environment that the assertive Muhktar managed to create in the wake of the incident.

Wonderful character development!
It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.
A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
