Unmaad 2011, celebrates this silent power that resides in every individual -- the power to belong, the power to break free, to forge, to overcome and to make a difference.

One man's experiments with truth. One man's long walk to freedom after 26 years in prison. One woman's saintly work in the gutters. One man's perspective on a falling apple. They defied logic. They broke rules. They caused chaos. And from this madness, a new culture is born. They inspired and have proven, time and again, that each one of us has it in us. The power of one that can change it for all. All it takes is a leap of faith.
