Please Arrest Me
In India, rape inside a marriage is not a crime. To fight the law, RIT Foundation needed to raise awareness. So it got an activist to turn himself into the police, pretending he raped his wife. Within minutes, he was freed. RIT Foundation captured the whole process – from him interviewing lawyers, victims, and women on the street, to him going into the police station with hidden cameras and the authorities saying that raping your wife is not a crime. The film was launched online to fierce reactions from both camps, with influencers uploading our videos on their channels to support us.
