About the Production:
| “KHOYA comes out of my experience searching for my long-lost brother. Throughout this process I’ve been struck by how often I’ve talked to friends who have stories similar to my own to tell: of having families separated and scarred, and struggling to navigate these problems in this complex, interconnected world. This film is about those universal struggles and, above all, KHOYA is about the desperate yearning we all have for that fleeting place we call home.” – Sami Khan |
