Film's focus
About the India-China clash in Ladakh
The film Battle of Galwan will depict the deadly clash between Indian and Chinese troops in the disputed border region of Ladakh. The clash, which took place on June 15, 2020, resulted in casualties on both sides and was the first deadly encounter in the Sino-Indian border conflict in nearly 45 years. The fighting involved hand-to-hand combat with sticks and stones, as firearms were prohibited in that area.
