Sixty years ago in August 1947, the British decided to quit India, nearly 200
years after they took power. They triggered one of the biggest migrations in
history when 15 million people were displaced and more than a million lost their
lives. As a British barrister draws a line on a map, one of the largest most
ethnically diverse nations in the world is divided.
This is the moving story of one of the worst communal massacres of the 20th
century told through powerful and often emotional personal testimony of people
who had lived together for centuries, but were now forced out of cities, villages
and their homes. Set in India against the backdrop of the triumphant Independence
celebrations in August 1947, this drama documentary tells the story of families,
a British soldier and key witnesses from each side of the divide. The 'big story'
of Mountbatten, Nehru and Jinnah is brought to life through fresh new colour
archive. Set-piece drama reconstruction recreates some of the mistrust, violence
and upheaval that ensues as Britain, the once great colonial power, looks on as
India burns. Some strong language.
