Past Run
The Bengali
THE BENGALI is a feature documentary that tells a boldly different story of immigration. It takes African-American writer Fatima Shaik across deep divides of culture to India where her grandfather came from and where she searches for the truth in the stories she grew up with.
“Lyrical and poetic...'The Bengali' is about assumptions, stories handed down through generations, and how simple moments can dissolve resistance.”
— Valerie Kalfrin, AWFJ Women on Film
