kadha
THE STORY OF A PEOPLE
“In those days, going to America was like going to the moon…”
kadha is a full-length documentary being created to tell the poignant tale of Malayalee immigrants who boldly journeyed from Kerala, India to America in the 60s and 70s.
Through determination and sacrifice, these brave women and men came as nurses, students, and entrepreneurs in pursuit of the American dream.
kadha captures the fading voices of these heroes who created a flourishing life for their families, their people, and their posterity.
