Festival of Lights

A daughter and father are separated but never truly apart in this complexly humanist story about how immigrants are forced to leave their countries to enable a brighter future for their children. Reshma (Melinda Shankar) is a troubled girl from Guyana who must come of age in the strange environs of 1980s Queens, New York. Coping with a daunting array of stressful pressures and betrayals, Reshma grapples with her ruptured relationship with her mother while continuing her difficult efforts to reunite with her father. Documentary filmmaker Prasad’s ambitious feature debut, which spans two continents and three decades, offers a complicated look at the plight of immigrant families and captures the essence of how it feels to be displaced in new surroundings.

After receiving shocking news about her absent father, a rebellious teenage girl embarks on a journey from New York to Guyana to discover the truth about her family's mysterious past. (IMDB)
