A nation uncovers a lie
Even as General Reginald Dyer threatens Amritsar with a promise of violence, a devious plan is hatched to draw the unsuspecting public to Jallianwala Bagh. The general leads his troops into the Bagh to unleash terror on the city’s innocent. As casualties mount, Kantilal and Allahbaksh set aside their differences to mourn the loss of a friend.
‘The Waking of a Nation' explores the events surrounding the Jallianwala Bagh massacre through the eyes of Kantilal, a fictitious member of the Hunter Commission. When General Dyer orders his troops to open fire at a gathering in Jallianwala Bagh, Kantilal takes it upon himself, with his life under threat, to uncover the dark conspiracy that led to the massacre.
