Provoked

Based on the true story of Kiranjit Ahluwalia, Provoked follows the harrowing journey of a Punjabi woman who moves to London for an arranged marriage, only to endure ten years of brutal physical and mental abuse from her husband, Deepak. In a moment of extreme desperation and shock, she sets fire to his feet while he sleeps, leading to his accidental death and her subsequent life sentence for murder. While imprisoned, Kiranjit befriends a well-connected cellmate and catches the attention of the Southall Black Sisters, a social activist group. Their relentless legal campaign eventually leads to a landmark appeal that redefines the concept of "provocation" in British law for battered women, transforming her personal tragedy into a historic victory for domestic violence survivors worldwide.
