Indian rape film has US premiere

The screening of India’s Daughter at Baruch College began with a vigil as Oscar-winner Meryl Streep lit about a dozen candles honouring the medical student who died after being gang-raped on a bus in 2012.
“Tonight we light these candles to honour the value and the work of Jyoti Singh’s short, promising life,” Streep said. “She was India’s daughter. Tonight she’s our daughter too.”
