A kidnapped child whispers dark secrets from his past
into a cassette tape in a language no one around him understands. Decades later, that lost cassette tape resurfaces and reveals the terrifying truth that he’s not the person everyone thinks he is. What happens when the life you made collides with the life you lost?
Stop Rewind: The Lost Boy tells the true story of Taj, a child in India who was taken from his family and sent to an adoptive family half a world away. Taj never forgot who he really was – or that he was taken. But without the language or tools to return, and with no one who understood his story, the details faded, and Taj’s past was quietly boxed away .
Told through rare original recordings, immersive sound design and unforgettable first-person testimony, Stop Rewind is a story of a stolen childhood, the quest for truth, the triumph of love and the long road to belonging.
