The Indian movies of my childhood and youth hadn?t prepared me for this.? Derived from the experiences of both an insider and an outsider, the intricate stories of Soulmates chart journeys of love, friendship, despair, daily negotiations and strategies for survival while exploring the physical and spiritual aspects of being transplanted to a foreign country, of living with fluid roots. Yoking two cultures, the Indian and the Nigerian, they take us into the sphere of symbols and nuances of speech, into a world fraught with seams, viscerally familiar, yet fascinating in its differences. Speaking in a distinct, meditative voice, and employing the dual vision of the insider?outsider, Kanchana Ugbabe inspires us to remember who we truly are.
