In 'Unfreedom', two parallel storylines unfold in New York City and New Delhi. In the former, a Muslim fundamentalist named Yusuf kidnaps progressive Islamic scholar Maajid with the intention of killing him due to his liberal views. Meanwhile, in India's capital, closeted lesbian Bhairavi captures her bisexual lover, Leila, intending to marry her against her will. The subsequent struggles and violence bring forth intense conflicts between identities and repression.
'Unfreedom' is a 2014 drama directed by Raj Amit Kumar, set in both New York City and New Delhi. The film explores themes of religious extremism versus liberalism through the conflict between Yusuf and Maajid, as well as LGBTQ+ struggles with identity and acceptance through Bhairavi's and Leila's story. Despite its limited release, 'Unfreedom' has been noted for its bold exploration of these controversial subjects.
