The Story

Praneeth Madhu - Director of Project Janani documentary, young Hindu American filmmaker

A 22-year-old Hindu American faces doubts, confusion, and crises about himself, his culture, and his home. He sets out on a journey on the banks of the Godavari river hoping to find answers to his questions in search of new enlightenment.

Instead, he is surprised by what he encounters. He returns to where he started, his Home, to know it for the first time.

Documentary Vision

Project Janani follows Godavari Mata as a guide to exploring the trans-generational experience of the Indian diaspora in the West. We use comparative cultural studies to gain a novel understanding of India, the West, and their interactions.
