BINA SHARIF's
My Ancestor's House

directed by Sourabh Chatterjee

In My Ancestor's House, we follow the return of Bindia, a Pakistani woman who has chosen to marry and live in the West, to her native land and the world of her sisters and dying mother.  It is on this journey that she is confronted with jealousy and family strife that question her very existence.  Sharif's MY ANCESTOR'S HOUSE is a beautiful story that reminds us that no matter how far one travels, they must answer the call of their motherland.
