Executive Produced by Naseeruddin Shah

Samira Faizi and her family escaped to India from Afghanistan in 2021, right before the Taliban takeover.

She hoped for a better life for her children by eventually leaving India and settling in a new country. But she is now grappling with the possibility of being stuck forever, as slow asylum processes and the lack of a refugee law in India threaten her existence.

She is also stuck in India at a time when violence against Muslims is steadily increasing in the country, led by a right-wing nationalistic government. This film touches upon Samira's struggle and sheds light on the situation of refugees in India.
