Fighting for your Life in 'The Survivor'
There's no hiding the horrors of war in this inspiring story of survival
Fence
Mohsin has hopes and dreams to pursue like any local Hong Kong youngster but is held back by a lack of chance and confidence. His father belongs to an older generation of immigrants still holding onto familiar, touchstone Indian traditions and ways. When a case of mistaken identity lands Shahid into their home, his uninhibited ability to express with his voice and body reinvigorates Mohsin’s passion for singing. Following a debut performance that ends in boos and jeers, and an imposter duly debunked, only a page out of Shakespeare and a Bollywood-sque song-and-dance sequence (what else?) can restore confidence and knock down the fence. Will Mohsin again take to the stage, wow with his style and make his father proud?
