Summaries

A lesbian daughter fights off an arranged marriage in India while a religious fundamentalist targets an anti-extremist scholar in New York.

"UNFREEDOM" is an urgent contemporary thriller about a society torn apart by political, religious, and sexual turmoil. Shifting between New York and New Delhi, the film juxtaposes two powerful and unflinching stories about religious fundamentalism and intolerance, one of which follows a Muslim terrorist attempting to silence a liberal Muslim scholar, while the other is about a young woman who defies her devout father and escapes an arranged marriage because she is secretly embroiled in a taboo lesbian romance. In this searing portrait of the polarized world we live in, all four characters go to their absolute limit--and beyond--in their struggle to defend their deeply-held and conflicting viewpoints on freedom, faith, family, and love.
