Saman: The Hidden Truth

May 1, 2021. After 18-year-old Saman Abbas goes missing from her family home, a police investigation quickly finds that, contrary to her social media presence, the last few years of her life were marked by secrets, family conflict, and attempts to flee.

After she's relocated to a residential shelter, Saman begins to open up and continues to date Saqib... despite her impending arranged marriage. Then, when Saman decides to return home to smooth things over with her family, events take a tragic turn.

Eighteen months after her disappearance, Saman's case sees a landmark arrest -- and a first of its kind extradition between Pakistan and Italy. Then, two years after a sentence is delivered, Ali Haider reflects on the traumatic trial and his life now.
