There were widespread peaceful protests across India, which were violently suppressed by the Indian police, working at the behest of the Hindu nationalist state. I met Akram Akhtar Chaudhary while filming a fact finding citizens&#8217; group investigating the anti-Muslim violence in Muzaffarnagar in December 2019. (This material finds expression in the short film, &#8216;A Day in Muzaffarnagar&#8217;).<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Four years later, I visited Akram with my film team to track the significant human rights legal work that he and his team do. In this film, we follow Akram as he provides legal help to his clients &#8211; victims of mob lynchings, vigilante violence and police encounter killings. Filmed over a mere 5 days, this brief encounter left us shaken as we realized the deep roots of structural violence against Muslims in Uttar Pradesh, well known as the new laboratory of Hindu nationalism in India.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>This is the third film in the work-in-progress documentary series, &#8216;Hindutva Stories&#8217;.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"featured_media":5186,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","tags":[],"portfolio-category":[],"portfolio-tag":[],"portfolio_entries":[50],"class_list":["post-4397","portfolio","type-portfolio","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","portfolio_entries-kpff2026"],"acf":[],"tpgb_featured_images":{"full":["https:\/\/www.ourcinema.in\/festival\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/12\/Z_Screenshot-4042.png.webp",1366,768,false],"tp-image-grid":["https:\/\/www.ourcinema.in\/festival\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/12\/Z_Screenshot-4042.png-700x700.webp",700,700,true],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/www.ourcinema.in\/festival\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/12\/Z_Screenshot-4042.png-80x80.webp",80,80,true],"medium":["https:\/\/www.ourcinema.in\/festival\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/12\/Z_Screenshot-4042.png-300x169.webp",300,169,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/www.ourcinema.in\/festival\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/12\/Z_Screenshot-4042.png-768x432.webp",768,432,true],"large":["https:\/\/www.ourcinema.in\/festival\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/12\/Z_Screenshot-4042.png-1030x579.webp",1030,579,true],"default":"https:\/\/www.ourcinema.in\/festival\/wp-content\/plugins\/the-plus-addons-for-block-editor\/assets\/images\/tpgb-placeholder.jpg"},"tpgb_post_meta_info":{"get_date":"December 31, 2025","get_modified_date":"January 15, 2026","category_list":{"post_tag":false,"portfolio-category":false,"portfolio-tag":false,"portfolio_entries":[{"term_id":50,"name":"KPFF2026","slug":"kpff2026","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":50,"taxonomy":"portfolio_entries","description":"","parent":0,"count":39,"filter":"raw"}]},"comment_count":0,"post_likes":0,"post_views":0},"tpgb_post_category":{"portfolio_entries":"<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ourcinema.in\/festival\/portfolio_entries\/kpff2026\/\" alt=\"KPFF2026\"  class=\"portfolio_entries-kpff2026\">KPFF2026<\/a> "},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ourcinema.in\/festival\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio\/4397","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ourcinema.in\/festival\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ourcinema.in\/festival\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/portfolio"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ourcinema.in\/festival\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4397"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/www.ourcinema.in\/festival\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio\/4397\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5189,"href":"https:\/\/www.ourcinema.in\/festival\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio\/4397\/revisions\/5189"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ourcinema.in\/festival\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5186"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ourcinema.in\/festival\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4397"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ourcinema.in\/festival\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4397"},{"taxonomy":"portfolio-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ourcinema.in\/festival\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio-category?post=4397"},{"taxonomy":"portfolio-tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ourcinema.in\/festival\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio-tag?post=4397"},{"taxonomy":"portfolio_entries","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ourcinema.in\/festival\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio_entries?post=4397"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
