About the film
VOICES OF DEOLI is a feature-length documentary that delves into the complexities and often upheaval of immigration through the lens of a small yet resilient community in the U.S. and Canada. This community shares a profound bond: they are survivors of the Deoli Internment Camp in Rajasthan, where they were imprisoned for up to five years following the brief Sino-Indian War in 1962. The internment of thousands, forgotten to the world is an important story for our times as regional conflicts escalate and global migration increases. Their experience highlights the vulnerabilities of displaced communities caught in the crossfire of geopolitical conflict.
