Where We Came From

About This Movie

Where We Came From is a striking exploration of identity and power dynamics. The atmosphere is tense, almost claustrophobic, as Satinder Aujla navigates the treacherous waters of political ambition while confronting her own heritage. The pacing varies, often pulling you into her internal conflict, then abruptly throwing you into the public spectacle of her press junket. Those moments feel raw, filled with a weight that lingers. The performances, particularly from Aujla, are layered; you see the struggle between her ambition and the ghosts of her past. It's a film that doesn’t shy away from dark themes, elegantly exposing the fractures of personal and national identity. The practical effects are subtle yet impactful, enhancing the film's poignant message.
