A documentary on the life of the Hindu refugees from Pakistan. A group of 151
Pakistani Hindus entered India on September, 2011 with a one month tourist
visa. They came to take refuge from the various religious persecutions they had
to face in Pakistan. The group which has a majority of children and women are
now sheltered in a camp on the outskirts of New Delhi. But now their visa has
expired and is facing deportation. Various organizations are fighting for the basic
human rights of these people at the political and judicial level. Their story is a
grim reminder of all those lives caught up in no man’s land. As more boundaries
are drawn across the human conscience, we fail to realize that humanity has
always suffered because of those human boundaries. This documentary traces
the difficulties they had to face in Pakistan, their life inside the camp and their
hopes for tomorrow.
