After Ameena’s brother mysteriously dies in an encounter with the law enforcement, she is determined to unveil the truth and bring him to justice even if it means rebelling against the establishment led by the newly elected mayor, Karim. What is she fighting for? How far can she go? Reimagined with a South Asian cast, this adaptation of Sophocles' classic, Antigone, focuses on the relationship between divine and state law; asking how one lives in a world that is unfair and unforgiving.
