#MeToo in Bollywood | DW Documentary

Five years ago, the #MeToo movement reached Bollywood. News of sexual harassment and assault allegations followed. Has anything changed since then? India's film industry produces more than a thousand movies annually. The films are watched by 3 billion people worldwide — and are loved for their song and dance sequences, emotional story lines and larger-than-life narratives. But if you take a closer look, the picture is less bright: Bollywood was rocked by allegations of #MeToo against several prominent producers, directors, actors and celebrities. But only a handful of cases reached court. Calling out served as a death knell for some careers, not necessarily the ones who were accused but the ones who were whistle-blowers.
