The Long Journey Home is an emotionally resonant, historically grounded drama that marks a cinematic first: a feature film that delves into the journey, loss, and legacy of the Indian indenture system, told through the intertwined lives of two women separated by centuries. Shot across breathtaking locations in Mauritius and India (Patna, Bodh Gaya, Arrah, and rural Bihar), the film honours generations of women who endured silence, sacrifice, and survival. Meera, the widow of an indentured labourer in the 1850s, and Raani, a modern-day sugarcane farmer in Mauritius, mirror each other across time. Their stories show how the struggles of women have evolved, yet endured, from colonial displacement to modern marginalisation.
