I saw this amazing film about five years ago. I have been looking for it and it is definitely not easy to find. But it is worth the effort to find it because it is an extraordinary true story of the power of the human spirit. I know that sounds trite but that’s the only thing to say that does it justice. The actor who plays Paan is perfection. Watching him run is poetry. It also shows us a glimpse of what life was like for the Indians in those hard days of British rule
