'Shahid' traces the true life story of a slain human rights activist and lawyer Shahid Azmi.
Set during the communal violence that was unleashed in the city of Mumbai since 1993. We see a remarkable tale unfold. From attempting to become a terrorist to being wrongly imprisoned under the anti-terrorism law to becoming a lawyer, a champion of human rights (particularly the Muslim minorities in India).
An inspiring personal journey of a boy, following the rise of communal violence in India. This is the story of an impoverished Muslim struggling to come to terms with injustice, inequality and rising above his circumstances; and stands as an inspiring testament to the human spirit.
