Shahid (2012)

Shahid traces the true story of slain human rights activist and lawyer Shahid Azmi. From attempting to become a terrorist to being wrongly imprisoned under a draconian anti-terrorism law to becoming a criminal lawyer Shahid traces the inspiring personal journey of a boy who became an unlikely messiah for human rights while following the rise of communal violence in India. This story of an impoverished Muslim struggling to come to terms with injustice, inequality and rising above his circumstances is an inspiring testament to the human spirit.

Quotes:

Shahid: How can they just throw people in jail without reason?

Shahid: Brother, I want to study the law. I've filled the form.

Shahid: The world chases only money. I did not become a lawyer for money. I'm thinking of starting my own practice. There is a little cost involved, but not that much.

Zaheer Sheikh: It's been over 18 months. I'm beaten up every day. Every day I'm treated like a fleabag. No value for human rights here. You visited my house?

Shahid: Sir, delaying justice is denying justice.

Shahid: Zaheer has been in jail for the last 2.5 years. His bail plea has been rejected over 10 times. The police have been unable to get any substantial evidence against him in this period.
