'An Insignificant Man' is a non-fiction political thriller that chronicles one of the most important revolutions in contemporary Indian Politics. Based on the rise of Arvind Kejriwal's insurgent Aam Aadmi Party, the documentary film provides an insider view of the entire political situation at that time.

The film which had been facing censor troubles, provides a thrilling look at the gritty realities of a new political party.


Directors Khushboo Ranka and Vinay Shukla recorded 400 hours of footage over the course of a year, capturing the clashes between idealism and politics during AAP's 2013 election campaign.

The lack of interviews and voice-overs give it a cinematic feel, bringing the viewer up, close and personal with democracy.
