Fifty-nine lives were lost, over 100 were injured, and a 25-year-long battle. The fire that took over the Uphaar Cinema in 1997 is still clear as day in the minds of many.

In the trailer that dropped today for the upcoming limited series Trial By Fire, Netflix takes audiences through a hard-hitting yet compelling journey of parents who take on powerful forces for over two decades in their enduring struggle for justice.

Directed by Prashant Nair and produced by Endemol Shine India and House of Talkies, the human drama stars Rajshri Deshpande, Abhay Deol, Rajesh Tailang, Ashish Vidyarthi, Anupam Kher, Ratna Pathak, Shilpa Shukla, and Shardul Bharadwaj.
