    Real story under fascist regimes anywhere in the world

    Watching this movie as an Indian audience The story of establishments targeting and branding a group of people is so relatable. History shows this has happened many times in different parts of the world and is still happening.

    Excellent acting , superb script. Movie picks up pace after initial establishing of the lead characters. The last part is a thrilling courtroom drama.
