the
sensitive
film
and
praising
the
performances
of
the
cast,
she
has
written
to
the
producers
of
the
film
stating,
"The
movie
brilliantly
highlights
the
trauma
and
struggle
associated
with
domestic
violence
which
many
women
undergo.
The
issues

by
the

need
to
be
widely

that

can
courageously
speak
against
this
inhuman
act".
Provoked, is the true life depiction of Kiranjit Ahluwalia (played by Aishwarya Rai), the Asian woman who overturned the British judicial system and transformed the meaning of "provocation" in the case of physically abused women, winning justice for women subjected to domestic violence, rape and sexual abuse. The film, based on Ahluwalia's autobiography 'Circle of Light' by Rahila Gupta, follows her lonely struggle in an abusive 10-year marriage, her retaliation through the murder of her violent husband and the efforts of women activists Southall Black Sisters to bring her justice.
Provoked releases worldwide on 6th April 2007.
