When the director of the film was asked about it, about the source of the 32,000 number he evaded the questions. While talking to Alt News, he said that only after the release of the film would he share his data based on which he used the number 32,000. He told The Quint that asking such questions doesn’t make any difference.
When the film was screened in JNU, he said that the 32,000 number was an arbitrary number. And when the matter reached the court, he removed 32,000 from the description of the film replacing it with 3.
The truth is that the story of these three women was worth telling. Had this story been told without lies and propaganda. Every person who is brainwashed and recruited in ISIS is a potential threat. But how big is this problem in India? If you compare it with other countries, you will find it shocking.
