Flight 182 - Trailer
Flight 182
"Flight 182" is about the fight for justice and giving a voice to history that is threatened by erasure. Through cinema, I want to create awareness about the biggest aviation attack prior to 9/11 and encourage a social conversation about how acts of political violence and terrorism destroy families. This universal story from 1985 is about a flight en route from Canada to Delhi via London that went off the Coast of Ireland when a bomb planted inside of a suitcase took down the aircraft. My relative was on this flight and why I dedicate this personal story to the 329 lives lost.
SYNOPSIS: One year after the deadliest attack on the Golden Temple and the assassination of prime minister Indira Gandhi, Mandeep Kaur must protect her husband from boarding Air India Flight 182 traveling from Canada to the motherland. Based on actual events of 1985, “Flight 182” centers around an immigrant family and the fear of returning to India, where danger looms in a country destroyed by riots and radicalism. Will Jeet take the flight that could end his life or remain at home with his pregnant wife and eight-year-old daughter?
