Indian Predator: Murder in a Courtroom

Akku Yaddav terrorises the women and girls of the small Kasturba village, raping and murdering, the authorities do nothing, the local women do.

Wow, this was a real eye opener, an almost shocking drama. I've been somewhat mixed in my views about the Indian Predator series so far, this series though is head and shoulders above the last few.

Well paced, well produced, it is a little muddled in parts, the narrative does jump about, but in the end, the pieces do come together quite well.

Netflix did a good job at presenting both sides, apart from hearing from the women who went after him, you will also hear from his supporters too, accounts are genuinely shocking.

You'll have to make up your own mind as to whether you think they were right to do what they did, but one thing was evident, there was no justice, Yaddav's victims were failed by the legal system, those that issued their own justice felt like they had no other course of action.

One thing that is evident in every documentary series where there is perpetrator and victim, is that people always target the most vulnerable they can find, those that society has turned their back on, and stopped caring about, focusing on people who the authorities will perhaps turn a blind eye to, it doesn't matter the country, the time, the crime, it's always the same.

Genuinely a cracking watch, 8/10.
