The descendants of Kenyan slaves, or the Siddis, are living through discrimination and injustice in India. They are constantly questioning their identity – belonging in neither India, nor Kenya.

Historical tragedy has sprouted into a modern misfortune – identity crisis. What would the world say to those with countless questions?
