    A moving account of two rebellious Bangladeshi sisters, born and raised in London, who are forced to go back to their parents' homeland for arranged marriages. Through footage of some of their most personal moments, the film explores the conflicts between migrants to the West and their children. It also dispels some myths about Islam's treatment of women, and puts a human face on one of the communities that is being targeted as a result of the U.S.-led "War on Terror."
    UK/Bangladesh, 2006, directed by Simon Chambers; 62 minutes.

    The Traveling Film South Asia Festival, a three-day film festival, is composed of 13 documentaries covering such diverse topics as politics, art, culture, globalization, natural disasters, environment, gender, urbanization, labor relations, the Partition, entertainment and history and features films from Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka.
