Justice for my father

Pedro Mateu-Gelabert, Ankur Poseria

"Justice for My Father" follows Aisha, an L.A. lawyer and daughter of a Bangladeshi immigrant, whose father, Rafique, is murdered in New York. Faced with a negligent police investigation, Aisha is determined to seek justice. She assumes a new identity, posing as the defense lawyer for her father’s accused killer, Dario—a young Dominican-American struggling to find his place. As Aisha delves deeper into the case, she uncovers new evidence that forces her to question Dario’s guilt and prove his innocence before an imminent verdict. Set against the backdrop of New York’s immigrant neighborhoods, this drama explores themes of justice, identity, and redemption, challenging Aisha’s pursuit of truth and Dario’s hope for a better future.
