Original Film Score & Soundtrack
LINE OF CONTROL is a coming-of-age story about a “Boy” growing up during the height of the border war over Kashmir. In the early 1990s, young men in villages all over Kashmir are disappearing. Fearing that they’re being recruited to become “freedom fighters” in the war to take Kashmir from India, the Indian army occupies the villages. The Boy is forced by an Indian army officer to perform a grim task, to go into the valley where the war is being fought and collect ID cards from the dead, and the Boy fears each day that he will find one of his missing friends lying amongst the dead.
