Description:

It’s the birthplace of the Kama Sutra and Bollywood romances, but, in real life, kissing in the street or just talking about sex in India is considered obscene. In a place where 90% of marriages are arranged and the bride’s family must pay a large dowry, young girls are taught that society considers them a burden. Millions of baby girls are abandoned or illegally aborted. A series of brutal rapes and murders have led to claims of a rape culture in India. This film investigates the role of India's system of castes and customs and hears from a lawyer who defends parents who have murdered their children in honor crimes. We also meet openly-gay Prince Manvendra who, in a country where homosexuality is illegal, fights for his love and for his society to become more accepting and educated. These stories, along with exclusive interviews, show India's culture surrounding gender and romance.
