Two Indias, Near And Far

Visitors to a historic sight in Hyderabad, India.Indian immigrants are the fastest-growing immigrant group in the country, and the pace of growth is faster in our area than just about anywhere else.In Redmond, Seattle’s tech hub, one in 10 residents are Indian. This deluge of workers and families has shaped life on the Eastside, and it’s having ripple effects on life in India as well.KUOW reporter Liz Jones travelled to South India for three weeks on an international reporting fellowship to explore this immigration trend. This series was possible thanks to a grant from the Ford Foundation, administered by the International Center for Journalists.

This show’s theme: Coming Home

KUOW is teaming up again with Pratidhwani, Tasveer and the Seattle South Asian Film Festival, continuing with this year’s festival theme, Coming Home.

Moving between the two worlds of South Asia and Seattle can be strange and isolating, or perhaps exhilarating and freeing. Maybe even both. What does the word “home” mean to you? Where is home?

Come tell a story about coming home, or just enjoy great stories from the South Asian community.

$10 advance/ $12 at the door ($8/$10 for SAM members)

Purchase tickets online here.
