Two friends--a Pakistani-American, Senain Kheshgi, and an Indian-American, Geeta V. Patel--investigate the war in Kashmir and find their friendship tested over deeply-rooted political, cultural, and religious biases they never had to face in the U.S.
Project Kashmir explores war between countries and war within oneself by delving into the fraught lives of young people caught in the social/political conflict of one of the most beautiful, and most deadly, places on earth.
Beautifully lensed by Academy Award® winner Ross Kauffman, the film captures the fabled beauty of Kashmir, while expertly interweaving deeply moving personal stories of Kashmiris with those of the two American women, who strive to reconcile their ethnic and religious heritage with the violence that haunts their homeland.
Includes a tour at 6:00 p.m. and a post-screening discussion with the filmmaker.
"Fascinating and illuminating... A much-anticipated film." - The 2008 Human Rights Watch International Film Festival
