Mridul Govind is not an alien—nor are his parents, siblings, or friends—but the U.S. immigration system has often made them feel like they’re being treated as something otherworldly. After moving from India at age seven, Mridul has watched his family navigate endless paperwork, interviews, and bureaucratic hurdles that most Americans never see. With a sharp comedic edge, he turns his camera toward the often-overlooked emotional toll this process takes on immigrant families. Through candid conversations with loved ones, he uncovers the stress, confusion, and resilience woven into their journey. What emerges is a warm, incisive portrait of a family grounded not by legal status but by the community and connection that keep them moving forward.
