DESCRIPTION:With the world's media attention focused on repression in Syri
 a and the threat to the Euro\, the Indian state of Kashmir\, nestling in t
 he shadow of the Himalayas\, is in danger of becoming a forgotten conflict
 .\n\nBut in 2010 this Valley in the shadow of the Himalayas erupted in som
 e of the most violent street protests it has ever seen. Hundreds of thousa
 nds of stone-throwing teenagers took aim at heavily armed Indian Security 
 Force troops\, who responded with live fire. 118 demonstrators were killed
 \, many of them children. This was followed by a lock-down in which no one
  could get in or out of the state.\n\nIn among the rioters\, to find out w
 hy they risked their lives\, and accompanying a local human rights lawyer 
 determined to investigate how India restored an uneasy peace\, True Vision
  uncovers a state-sanctioned torture programme that has set India on a col
 lision course with the international community.\n\nKashmiri lawyer Parvez 
 Imroz has never filed a divorce or defended a thief. Instead\, this vetera
 n Supreme Court advocate has spent his entire legal career dressed in a gr
 ey morning suit and working pro-bono. Broke but determined\, with two youn
 g children and a wife who complain he has yet to take them on a picnic\, I
 mroz has always risked his life to keep the Indian authorities accountable
  in this disputed mountain state where\, unseen by most of the world\, an 
 insurgency has rumbled on since 1989\, claiming an estimated 70\,000 lives
 .\n\nAs stone-wielding Kashmiri youth fought pitched battles with the Indi
 an security forces\, BAFTA-winning film-maker Jezza Neumann followed Imroz
  as he turned his attention to an even more incendiary project\, probing h
 ow the Indian security forces drove the rioters off the streets and impose
 d peace\, in one of the most heavily militarised places on earth.\n\nFilme
