## Eleven Days (2018)
The earlier film is an Australian production directed, written, and produced by Jaginder Singh. It follows [Ajit Singh](https://www.edgepedia.org/ajit-singh), a 12-year-old boy played by Jit Singh, who races across the Australian outback to find his 20-year-old brother Rajveer (Garry Deol) before he is lost in the fight against terror. In the film's setup, Rajveer, tired of being labeled a terrorist because of the beard and turban he keeps according to his Sikh heritage, joins the army and leaves home after an argument with his father Sarjit (Harcharanjit Singh)[1](https://www.justwatch.com/us/movie/eleven-days) • [6](https://play.google.com/store/movies/details?id=69RpkJwtIFo.P).

It dramatizes a real event: in the summer of 1974, convicted heroin dealer Federico Carrasco seized control of the Huntsville Penitentiary during a failed, meticulously planned escape and took dozens of hostages, beginning an 11-day standoff with Jim Estelle, head of the Texas Department of Corrections[2](https://www.screendaily.com/news/lucky-number-8-media-launches-at-efm-with-sales-on-eleven-days-starring-taylor-kitch-diego-luna-jason-isaacs-rhea-seehorn/5212737.article) • [7](https://www.movieinsider.com/m24507/eleven-days).
