- This award-winning short film depicts the love story of Hansa, a religious devotee and family loyalist, who chose to defy her widowed mother's wish for an arranged marriage to a wealthy, older, and established man. Hansa's story is unique given that most women in India at the time were required to do an arranged marriage per their parents' wishes. Only in the recent decade have women been able to choose otherwise. Hansa was bold and defiant in choosing this forbidden path back in the 1960s, often putting herself in danger as a lone woman walking amongst the streets of Mumbai just so she could meet her partner on secret dates. Hansa has since married her partner, Vipin, and they have emigrated to the US with a loving relationship that has continued strong for 50+ years.

- A woman's emotional journey on her first day back to work from maternity leave.
- My father often says "I must be an American Soul in an Indian body." I get what he means as I continue to learn of his and my mother's journey before and after coming to the US, all throughout my childhood until now. Arriving to the US just a few days before our country made history by landing on the moon, and while struggling to make ends meet as a civil engineer not knowing if and when he'd get drafted to the Vietnam War - nothing deterred my father's desire to achieve the "American Dream". My parents reminiscing of their journey to come here and earn their way to afford the best life they could for themselves, their children (my brother and I), and grandchildren (my son and daughter), I can't help but also be inspired and re-ignited to believe in my own American Dream. Immigrants in this land can be incredibly powerful change-makers for our future when they're truly believed in and afforded the same opportunities as the privileged. Believe in immigrants as we all strive to believe in that American Dream again.
- A tribute to those on the front line risking their lives to save ours.
- Vipin Mehta immigrated to the US during the Vietnam War on a special visa conditional upon getting drafted on a moment's notice. As a civil engineer, he worked for various companies but faced the stark reality of being laid off - twice - simply because his bosses could not understand him due to his thick accent. Under pressure to provide for his family of four, Vipin's wife inspired him to start his own company in 1977. He provided pro bono services initially to prove his ability, and over time he was able to earn the trust of his clients. Since then, his company has been involved on some of America's largest infrastructure projects that continue to serve as blueprints of civil engineering excellence around the world. Vipin's gratitude and unending trust in his employees have inspired many to lead successful careers while making a positive impact in the civil engineering industry today.
