Provoked: una historia real (2007)
Película sobre la historia de Kiranjit Ahluwalia, que dejó la India para casarse con su marido en Londres. Aparentemente se trataba de una vida de ensueño, pero todo se desvaneció cuando descubrió que su marido era un alcohólico y la sometía continuamente a maltratos físicos y psicológicos. La situación empeoró al tener dos hijos... Incapaz de soportar la brutalidad y las violaciones por parte de su marido, le prende fuego y le mata. Acusada de asesinato en primer grado, la sentencian a cadena perpetua, e ingresa en prisión. Allí se hace amiga de su compañera de celda, de la que aprende inglés. Esta mujer se siente tan conmovida por su historia que le pide a su hermanastro, un abogado de alto nivel, que lleve su caso. El proceso llega a los oídos de un grupo de trabajadores sociales surasiáticos, que gestionan una organización de pocos recursos económicos llamada Southall Black Sisters. (FILMAFFINITY)
