Plot Overview
Set in the early 1990s, Freedom narrates the haunting tale of a group of refugees who, in 1991, were wrongfully incarcerated in Vellore Fort under suspicion of being involved in a sensational assassination. Though later proven innocent, their release was denied by the system for years.

In 1995, a turning point came when 43 of these prisoners orchestrated a bold escape from captivity. While some were recaptured, others vanished into the unknown, fleeing to foreign lands in pursuit of the freedom they were unjustly denied. This gripping narrative uncovers not only the drama behind their escape but also the emotional weight of betrayal, survival, and hope.
