The docudrama film analyses the root causes for the violence in the ill-famous Delhi gang rape in 2012. A young female student was raped in a bus and she brutally devastated body was thrown on the street. The girl struggled for life for several days but ultimately succumbed to the injuries.
Her boyfriend was saved and he became the main witness in the trial against the brutal crime. Anatomy of Violence portrays the perpetrators of the gang rape as victims in their childhood. The perpetrators live amidst abuse, poverty, exploitation, and sexual abuse and commit the same to less powerful people whenever possible. They do not appear as regretting their crimes and the worst factor is that there were social elements that backed them even after such a horrible crime.
The film was translated and subtitled to Sinhala by Creative Content Consultants as a part of the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) and the Canada High Commission of Sri Lanka.
