Bollywood Bound: Finding Fame and Identity in India’s Filmmaking Capital

For many children of Indian immigrants, the land of milk and honey that their parents sought is not North America—it is Bombay, home to the Hindi film and television industry known as Bollywood. This fascinating program follows four aspiring stars as they return to their parents’ country to encounter not only the challenges of casting calls and rehearsals but the feeling of being an outsider in their own native culture. Questions of religious, linguistic, and moral identity are frankly addressed, providing a compelling study of what it means to feel like a foreigner in two countries. (57 minutes)
