Trailer for Help Us Find Sunil Tripathi.

While struggling with severe depression, Brown University student Sunil Tripathi one day vanishes from his apartment. With only a few clues and some surveillance video of him walking off into the cold Rhode Island night, Tripathi’s family goes on a desperate search to find him. Using all the sources they can, they launch a nationwide internet and social media campaign to disseminate their story and his picture as widely as possible. But when someone comments that he looks like one of the Boston Marathon bombers, a wildfire is ignited and Tripathi is suddenly labeled a terrorist and bomber. The family soon discovers that compassionate support has been overshadowed by the ruthlessness of media and its power to destroy innocent lives with its insatiable hunger for breaking news.
