"I am beyond thrilled that has been nominated for an Academy Award. This is an extraordinary honour for the creative team behind this eight-year journey, and it's a testament to the tireless group of women working outside the normal ecosystem to ensure this story is seen and does what it needs to in the world. We're here, at this moment, because a farmer in India , his wife and their 13-year-old daughter had the courage to demand her human rights. We are grateful to the National Film Board of Canada , our executive producers and everyone on the team for their support. It is our hope and intent that this film will encourage other survivors to seek justice, and that men stand with us in our fight for gender equality."
