"The truth can be twisted"

Inspired by the true story of Pakistani child labour activist Iqbal Masih, Gunjal follows journalist Shahbaz Bhatti as he investigates the acquittal of a young activist's killer. When glaring loopholes surface in the verdict, Shahbaz embarks on a relentless quest for justice — but every lead contradicts the last, unravelling a web of corruption and complicity that exposes the harrowing realities of bonded child labour in 1990s Pakistan.
