The British never met a map they didn’t like…to arbitrarily draw lines on. And this film presents no exception to that rule. Watch as one well-meaning man, a strongly supporting wife and two star crossed lovers help single-handedly to guide India (and Pakistan) towards a smooth and peaceful transition into statehood! (Actually, it doesn’t go great). So can a movie about such a fraught emotional historical event (that isn’t Gandhi) be worth watching? Listen and find out!
