AM SINGH portrays the trials and tribulations of men whose stories were never
highlighted. After the 9/11 tragedy in America, the Sikhs were targeted all over
and were the victims of mistaken identity. The film highlights what happened to
few such people and their fights against it, never losing the faith in the
American judicial system.
This story is about a young Sikh named Ranveer Singh, a young, confident man
settled in India. Ranveer`s elder brothers are citizens of America. Ranveer`s
life takes a turn when he receives a call and he comes to know that one of his
brothers is dead, his father is seriously injured and his other brother is
missing. The cause of this is unknown.
Ranveer is in a dilemma and immediately leaves for the US. He doesn`t know what
is in store for him. Ranveer reaches the US and tries to find out what actually
happened to his family. He doesn`t get the right answers. Further, he is more
shocked and confused with the situation. However, something keeps telling him
that there is more to the whole incident, what seems on the face is not the
fact, the fact remains a mystery to him. Then, Ranveer meets a Pakistani, Rizwan
Haider, who now is an American citizen. Rizwan tells him what actually had
happened on that day. Ranveer seeks the local citizen, a Sikh named Fateh Singh
who is a police officer in the LAPD. Fateh Singh guides him on which path to
choose and introduces him to Amelia White, an American human rights activist and
an attorney. Amy Washington, an American senior attorney, further fights the
case. Together they fight the battle of equality and justice for everyone in the
true American spirit.
A spirit rekindled by a man called `SINGH`.
