The 3rd Option (Documentary)
In a world where the voices of Jammu and Kashmir’s people are drowned out by the geopolitical interests of India and Pakistan, a resilient call for independence emerges. Amidst the backdrop of a region ensnared in the throes of a seven-decade-long dispute, the inhabitants of Kashmir yearn for autonomy, refusing to align with either neighboring giant. Their struggle is not just for land, but for the right to define their own destiny, to transform their homeland from the world’s largest militarized zone into an independent state. This is the story of a people’s undying spirit for freedom, a narrative of resilience that seeks to reclaim the forgotten option of independence promised in the twilight of colonial rule.
