  • Summary

  • The message is clear - women are disposable; even in fiction.
    Most crime shows open with the dead body of a woman. Extending that list are hugely popular shows on serial killers who target women. There are multiple documentaries and shows, for example, on Ted Bundy. Everyone remembers him. Nobody remembers his victims.

    Rarely though, some films and shows get it right. Dijo Jose Antony's 2022 film "Jana Gana Mana" delves into not just a gender crime but the reasons behind it. And, the 2019 Netflix drama "Unbelievable" got women right, too. One of its most insightful lines was “Rape has three crime scenes. The body of the victim. The body of the rapist. And the place where the crime actually happens.”

    The series also adds another crime scene to the list without naming it - the mind of the victim. Against which, a cruel warfare is waged by a brutal, desensitised justice system. On this episode of 'The Way We Were', we explore.

    TW: This episode contains references to rape and sexual violence against women.
