SBS set to pick up doco on Indian honour killings

A new feature documentary by director Bill Bennett about a protection group for multicultural Indian couples is due to be picked up by SBS.

The documentary, called Love Commandos will be produced by Bennett and Anupam Sharma with Peter Abbott of Freehand executive producing.

With a letter of intent from SBS, the documentary has come off the back of research for Bennett and Sharma’s forthcoming feature film Defiant, starring Toni Collette and Dev Patel.

The two films have been the result of multiple trips to India for Sharma and Bennett interviewing and researching around the topic of honour killings.
