RAI – Cams And Comm

Synopsis

Between 2003 and 2017, Pakistan has lost over 60,000 precious lives to acts of terror. While most Pakistanis are aware of this painful statistic, very few are aware of the remarkable stories of those who have survived.

“Rai – The Living Miracle,” traces the life of Advocate Rai Azhar Hussain, who braved seven bullets while saving precious lives during the terrorist attack on Islamabad Civil Courts in March 2014. He had been profusely bleeding for 40 minutes before the paramedics found him lying motionless in a tiny chamber at Ground Zero.

The bullets had played havoc with Rai’s mortal body, making his surgery long and complicated. In the lead surgeon’s own words, “Many a times we thought we had lost him.”

Following the surgery, Rai remained in a state of coma for a month with doctors anticipating grave brain damage. However, Rai’s resilience stood tall against all odds to bring him back from the jaws of death.

Nearly four years after that fateful March morning, Rai has not merely resumed his responsibilities as a husband, father and a lawyer but he has also taken it upon himself to strive for a better life for those struggling with physical and psychological scars as a result of terrorism.

Rai-The Living Miracle is a celebration of a common man’s valour and resilience in the face of extraordinary circumstances.

Different versions of the award winning short documentary film include a 28 minuter, 20 minuter, 12 and a 10 minuter; all of which will soon be available for screening on different platforms.
