“I have been looking forward to watching Sindhustan ever since the promos came out maybe a year ago. I missed it when I was last in India so the worldwide release made it super accessible. What stood out was the art direction and storytelling. The journey takes you through Sapnau0026#39;s legs on which she has tattooed the many stories collected about Sindhi collective history.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis bit of history of the partition of India, of memories of those who experienced it is so important for any culture to capture, so its youth may have some sense of grounding of u0026#39;au0026#39; place in the world — and how different cultures deal with dislocation so differently. Sapna was looking for her place, and by making this film, in this non-invasive way, we have a chance to find our place and journey with her. The story also weaves in great references of poets and folk singers that are worth to explore as well as a recipe for the famous unique dish, Sindhi Curry! Enjoy!”
