- Summary:
- In 1947, Pakistan and India were divided. Pakistan chose the Islamic way and India chose the secular way. In this film, Sabiha Sumar sets off on a journey to uncover the complex relationship between the two countries, focusing in on the religious fundamentalism present in each country as well as uncovering the common humanity beyond the divisive political rhetoric.
