An Insignificant Man tells the story of the anti-corruption movement in India, and the 2012 campaign of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP). It features tax-official-turned politician Arvind Kejriwal, now Chief Minister of Delhi, and Yogendra Yadav (Centre for the Study of Developing Societies (CSDS), who joined the anti-corruption movement in 2012 and served as Chief Strategist for the AAP through 2015. The crowd-sourced film has seen a host of censorship controversies over the last year and is finally slated for a theatrical release in November 2018.
