Surkhaab
About the movie
Surkhaab is a story of our times of globalization, immigration and basic survival. Jeet has spent her formative years training hard to become a state level Judo champion. The discipline required has made Jeet into a straight shooter, who is unafraid to say things as they are. Now, trying to adjust to a life after sports, she finds herself tackling the chauvinistic and corrupt world of a life in a village in Punjab.
She finds herself in deep trouble which necessitates that she leave quickly. Although she has no trust in them, Jeet is forced to ask the help of the local hustler Balbir and his nephew Kuldeep. Through them she obtains a counterfeit visa to come to see her brother in Toronto, Canada.
The film explores the real life challenges and obstacles faced by a reluctant immigrant to one of the most beautiful, peaceful and `safe` countries in the world. All Jeet wants is to see her brother and make a basic life for herself. Will Jeet survive? Can she make sense of what is happening to and around her?
This is the story of one woman`s courageous journey to build a life she can live with dignity, honesty and above all, integrity.
