Inspired by the 2016 Hollywood film Lion (starring Dev Patel and Nicole Kidman), this series follows four women adopted from South Asia as they return to find their birth mothers. They are searching not just for their relatives, but also for a lost identity. I directed the episode in Kolkata, India, and produced the episode in Sri Lanka.
