THE BENGALI follows an unlikely quest that takes Fatima Shaik, an African-American woman from New Orleans, across deep divides of culture to India, in search of her family’s past. Her journey sparks a boldly different encounter between East and West. As she searches for the truth in the tales she grew up with, a surprising story unfolds of the first South Asians in the U.S. who married African-American women. Tempered with hope, fear, and unexpected encounters between strangers, THE BENGALI reaches across seemingly insurmountable cultural divides to reclaim timeless themes of family.
