Trigger warning: violence, graphic content

The film documents real life accounts of the anti-CAA protests that were carried out in Delhi against the highly controversial act. These experiences are further tied with metaphorical images and symbolism to drive the message home. The narrative covers the protests, the police brutality and violence that took place at the Jamia Millia Islamia university, followed by the riots that rocked the north eastern part of the national capital in early 2020.

At the heart of the documentary film is the message of secularism and unity, and further a reminder to not let communal lines divide the nation. The narrative is true and honest to its subject matter, which is precisely why it might prove to be a triggering viewing experience for the sensitive audience.
