Synopsis

edit

A group of 152 Pakistani Hindus entered India in September 2011 with a one-month tourist visa. They came as refugees from the various religious persecutions they had to face in Pakistan. The group, which has a majority of children and women, are currently sheltered in a camp on the outskirts of New Delhi. However, their visa has expired, and the group faces deportation.[1] Various organizations are fighting for the basic human rights of these people at the political and judicial levels. Their story is a grim reminder to all those who have found themselves in a no man's land.

Production

edit

The film was shot in a highly restricted and sensitive environment inside the refugee camp within a short span of three days. Minimal filming equipment was used.[2] The documentary traces the difficulties they have to face in Pakistan, their life inside the camp, and their hopes for tomorrow.
