Land of My Dreams follows stories of these women who sustained a peaceful

pro-democracy movement for over a hundred days, galvanizing resistance across the

country. The film recounts how they weathered institutionalized and societal repression

to redefine nationalism and provide a precedent for a new form of public dissent in

modern India.

Drawing on her identity as a Muslim woman, the filmmaker questions contemporary

notions of belonging, patriotism, and identity in India by examining shared human

responses to exclusion, polarization, and repression.
