The 2009 Hindi film New York, directed by Kabir Khan, is a raw, unflinching narrative that delves into the traumatic aftermath of the 9/11 attacks. The film explores themes of identity, prejudice, and the far-reaching consequences of terrorism. It is a balanced yet emotionally charged portrayal of how lives are irrevocably altered by global events, especially for those who find themselves wrongfully accused due to their ethnicity or religion.
