Ashwin Kumar's astonishing Oscar-nominated debut conveys a powerful message about friendship overriding false national hostilities. When 12-year-old Jamal (Julfuqar Ali) mistakenly crosses over from Pakistan into India, he finds himself hunted by Indian soldiers eager to nab the "terrorist." Jamal's welfare and journey home depends entirely on the kindness of Bhola (Sushil Sharma), a Hindu schoolteacher, who, despite his own family's prejudices and suspicions, harbors and aids the boy.
