Directed by: Proshoon Rahmaan
Production Company: Imation Creator (Bangladesh)
Logline
When a Bangladeshi immigrant takes his child on a journey to rediscover his roots, he expects reunionâbut what he finds instead challenges everything he thought he knew about home and identity.
Synopsis
After a decade in Canada, Akash returns to Bangladesh with his child, hoping to reconnect with his past. But time has changed everythingârelationships have faded, and home no longer feels the same. As he revisits his roots, he struggles with identity, belonging, and the emotional weight of migration. Torn between two worlds, he realizes that home isnât just a place but a feeling reshaped by time. The Roots is a poignant exploration of nostalgia, loss, and the silent struggles of those who leaveâand the even greater challenge of coming back.
