In India, rape within a marriage is not a crime. RIT Foundation and Ogilvy Singapore launched a provocative campaign to challenge this legal loophole, using a bold stunt: an activist impersonated a husband who raped his wife, exposing the system's flaws. The film captured the chaotic process, from the activist's interviews with lawyers and victims to his confrontation with police, where authorities dismissed the crime as non-existent. The online reaction was fierce, highlighting a deeply entrenched societal issue. The campaign sparked critical dialogue about justice and equality, forcing the public to confront the systemic injustice that continues to plague Indian society.
