The upcoming twelfth edition of the Kolkata People's Film Festival will spotlight stories of resilience from immigrant communities. Ten out of thirty-nine films will focus on the experiences of migrants from South Asia, including Bengali workers in Kerala, Bangladeshi immigrants in the United States, and a Rohingya girl's pursuit of education in a refugee camp. The festival's selection highlights common threads of displacement, adaptation, and the search for belonging, as seen in films like 'See Me When You Leave', which uses sound design to explore migrant workers' lives, and 'A Dream Called Khushi', which follows a young girl's fight for her rights. Organizers emphasize that these narratives reveal both the hardships and the enduring spirit of those who leave their homelands in search of a better future.
