ABOUT THE FILM

Borderlands - an intimate exploration of how everyday lives intertwine with personal and political borders in the Indian subcontinent. Through conversations and observations, the film reveals people’s efforts to find meaning in a world beyond their control. Divided families meet, love blossoms across borders, traffickers get caught – in this slice of life documentary.

Supported by one of the largest crowdfunding campaigns for an Indian film, 'Borderlands' has screened at over 25 reputed festivals across the globe, including the homegrown MAMI Mumbai Film Festival.
