Story Inspiration
The plot of “Deformed Fate” draws on the real-life cases where individuals have been wrongly accused and imprisoned for crimes they did not commit. As we know, the justice system is far from perfect and is often rife with incorrect assumptions and lack of evidence that has led to the suffering of innocent people.
Moreover, the film is also a searing critique of the systemic failures that lead to poverty, homelessness, and social inequality. It lays bare the stark reality of how the most vulnerable in society are often left without support or resources to help them get back on their feet. “Deformed Fate” does not shy away from examining the flaws in the justice system, which all too often fails those who are most in need of its protection.
