Summary:
Film about a 10-year-old Pakistani boy that mistakenly crosses the border with no way of getting back, has garnered dozens of awards and honors. Little Terrorist is based on a true story: In early 2003 - a twelve year old Pakistani boy crossed the Indo Pak border by mistake. Indian Prime Minister Atal Bhihari Vajpaee, amidst PR fanfare, restored the boy to his family in Pakistan, kicking off the thaw in tensions between these two nuclear countries who came so close to war less than a year earlier.
