Anatomy of Violence

Anatomy of Violence is a Canadian drama film which premiered at the 2016 Toronto International Film Festival.[1] Directed by Toronto-based filmmaker Deepa Mehta,[2] the film explores the root causes leading up to the 2012 Delhi gang rape incident, including the rigidity of India's caste system, poverty and social values that breed and support misogyny.[3]

The film's script was created by a group of actors including Vansh Bhardwaj, Tia Bhatia, Janki Bisht and Seema Biswas, through improvisational exercises based on the relatively few snippets of known information about the perpetrators of the attack.[4] Mehta chose to pursue a significant departure from her usual filmmaking style, in part because of the uncharacteristically poor reviews that greeted her previous film Beeba Boys.[4]
