Strong violence: a man is beaten, caged, hung upside down and flayed until bloody. Based on a true story: a farmer accidentally crosses into Pakistan drunk and is jailed for decades; critics describe graphic torture scenes and an emotionally intense family struggle, with strong themes of courage and perseverance. Also strong scary or upsetting scenes, mild substance use and mild sexual content.
