==Overview==<br />
The 40-minute documentary which contains archival footage and original visuals of locations, is a tribute to the memory and sacrifice of [[Bhagat Singh]], one of the most venerated nationalist figures in contemporary [[India]].

The film is an attempt to craft an intellectual biography of Bhagat Singh in an audio-visual format. The documentary is produced as a part of the year-long celebrations organised by the Nehru Memorial Museum and Library in connection with the 100th birth anniversary of Bhagat Singh <ref>{{cite news | title = NEHRU MEMORIAL MUSEUM AND LIBRARY (NMML) | date = 22 January 2009 | url = http://www.pib.nic.in/release/release.asp?relid=46908 | work = Press Information Bureau of India | accessdate = 2011-11-11}}</ref><br />
