Using expert testimony, this film seeks to unpack every aspect of the London bound Air India Flight AI171 plane crash carrying 242 passengers and crew.

Following the recent initial findings by Air India investigators, the film examines what exactly could be the possible causes of the tragedy. Could it have been pilot error, or was potential engine or electrical system failure to blame? The stakes are high – for Boeing, the world’s biggest plane manufacturer, Air India, the national carrier, the families of those who perished and everyone who travels by air.

The story is told through exclusive interviews with aviation experts, victims’ families and those who have spoken out about aviation safety. Using UGC, archive, CGI graphics and new footage filmed in UK, USA, and India, the film pieces together the facts behind the crash and seeks to ask - what went wrong?
