Ghol

Hussain Mirza, an impoverished trawler fisherman on the polluted Indian side of the Arabian Sea. When he strays across the unmarked marine border into Pakistani waters, he is imprisoned for years while his family was killed in the 2002 Gujarat riots. His fortunes seemingly change when he nets a shoal of the rare and expensive Ghol fish, every fisherman’s dream catch, prized for its organs in China, Japan and Singapore. The newfound wealth offers him a chance to buy a bigger boat and rebuild his life, but a renewed wave of anti-Muslim sentiment threatens his plans and forces him to confront past traumas.
