MILPITAS: “Shattered Freedom” premiered on March 31 in Milpitas to a packed house of excited movie lovers and dignitaries at an event managed by Sheetal Ohri.
Co-written and produced by Shah Peerally, ‘Shattered Freedom’ is a film that every immigrant can relate to. The film is pure fiction inspired by Mr. Peerally’s and his law firm’s experiences, and above all the hope of living the American Dream that survives amidst it all. It is about being offered the opportunities that one did not know existed, within the American society and American legal system.
‘Shattered Freedom’, is the story of a woman, Jasmine (Yasmine) who has survived tremendous odds and an abusive relationship. She comes to the United States with a dream and the story recounts how that dream is shattered bit by bit, but how she emerges in the end and what happens to her. The film and its story show the resources present in the American legal system to help victims with immigration problems.
Shah Peerally, who is a well known attorney and civil right activist, seeks to add his experiences about the immigration law. The film contains experienced inputs from real life of immigration attorneys.
The film stars Shah Peerally as a lawyer, Dr Pannu as dentist, Pavneet Saluja and many other very talented Bay Area individuals.
The story is a hard hitting one and showcases the fears of many women who have actually been taken advantage of and been abused by different relationships and being threatened of deportation and how the application of VAWA (Violence Against Women Act) and other immigration and nationality laws can help them.
The movie features the hardships of dealing with government departments which are entrusted to protect the country and control the number of immigrants entering and living in the United States.
With its films, documentaries and radio shows, the Shah Peerally Production house has actually three important goals in mind: 1) educate immigrants about their rights 2) give a chance to local talents and 3) recognize lawyers and other individuals fighting for human and civil rights.
Perhaps the main aim of the production house can be summed up in these few powerful words from Shah Peerally himself: “If we can save one person from deportation through this film, the Shah Peerally Productions’ goal would actually have been achieved.”
