The Ranvir Sena—CPI (ML) conflict in Bihar, insurgency in the Northeast, and terror-prone villages in Kashmir. Pulling off peace in such conflict zones, between deadly warring factions known for killing one another and those caught in the crossfire as well, can seem tumultuous. Bringing the killers back to society seems downright impossible.
The Man Who Froze Fire chronicles true stories of conflict transformation facilitated from ground zero by Sanjay Kumar, under the guidance of Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar.
