À propos de ce film

Shahid traces the true story of slain human rights activist and lawyer Shahid Azmi. From attempting to become a terrorist to being wrongly imprisoned under a draconian anti-terrorism law to becoming a criminal lawyer Shahid traces the inspiring personal journey of a boy who became an unlikely messiah for human rights while following the rise of communal violence in India. This story of an impoverished Muslim struggling to come to terms with injustice, inequality and rising above his circumstances is an inspiring testament to the human spirit.

Notes et avis

A very well made movie. Bites into the edifice of our assumptions and exposes the sinews that bind our perceived values. Rock solid performances rooted in the unassuming mundane life of Mumbai's common man. Intriguing , force that makes you think beyond.

Good movie but judging by the comments, apparently there are a lot Hindu hating Muslims who gave it a 5 star just because it portrays Hindus in bad light... so buyer beware!

I got goosebumps after watching the trailer,but,some sanghi hindutva & jihadi followers won't find this movie interesting, because it reveals their dirts .
