The makers of The Little Terrorist, the movie which narrowly missed getting an Oscar in 2005, have released it for free in Indiaand Pakistan.

People of  these two countries would be able to watch the 15-minute movie on YouTube (embedded below).

Little Terrorist was written and produced by Ashvin Kumar.

It tells the story of Jamal (played by Salim), a 10-year-old Pakistani boy, who chases a cricket ball and crosses over to the Indian side of the border separated by a fence.

An Indian villager, Bhola (Sushil Sharma), a devout Hindu Brahmin, takes him home and gives shelter with the help of his niece, Rani (Megnaa Mehtta).

When the Indian Army comes looking for him, you should see what happens.

The lead cast of the movie - Salim, Sushil Sharma and Megnaa Mehtta – faced camera for the first time. It was nominated for the 2005 Academy Award for Live Action Short Film.

Ashvin Kumar had earlier made Road to Ladakh (2002), with Irrfan Khan and Koel Purie.
