Western India in February 2002. Fifty-nine Hindus burn to death on a train in Gujarat. In the massacres of retribution that ensue, 2,500 Muslims are killed, women raped, families driven from their homes. With a wealth of material, Rakesh Sharma follows the trail of a political conspiracy and, in interviews with both Hindus and Muslims, examines the scars of hate. The multiple-award-winning film was banned in India.
