Child of Empire

Child of Empire (left) is an animated virtual reality (VR) docu-drama experience which immerses viewers in one of the largest forced migrations in human history: the 1947

Partition of India and Pakistan. The film is directly inspired by real life accounts of three Partition witnesses from both sides of the border.

Animated shorts ‘Lost migrations - Sultanas Dream, Seabirds and Rest in Paper’

Sultanas Dream

Lost Migrations is a three-part animated anthology which explores the memory, loss and trauma that accompanied the Partition of British India, through the voices of the colonised. Each 6–8-minute episode focuses on a community that has been excluded from South Asian historiography: women, the stateless and the diaspora.
