Length

  70 min  

An epic story of a family torn across two continents unfolds in just 70 minutes of home movie footage in “I Is For India”. The anxieties of separation and the struggle for integration are seen through the viewfinder of Dr Yash Pal Suri, who arrived in Britain in 1965 and immediately formed a deep attachment to his Super 8mm camera. The footage is nimbly woven together by his daughter, Sandhya Suri, to create a cinematic journal spun tight with drama and intrigue.
