The Awakening of a Nation
"The Awakening of a Nation" tells a story revolving around the Jallianwala Bagh massacre, which took place in 1919 in India under the oppressive colonial rule of Britain. In the film, we follow the lives of a number of characters affected and shaped by these events. In particular, Ravi, a young and idealistic teacher, is one of those who experienced the greatest impact of this tragic event. In addition to Ravi, we meet a number of historical figures in the film and see their reactions to this event and how they endured its consequences.
The film tells the audience about India at the time and the oppression of the British colonial rule on the people. It also shows how important a role this tragic event played in the awakening of the national consciousness of the Indian people.
The film was shot in various parts of India. In particular, the city of Amritsar, where the events took place, is one of the main locations of the film.
