Borderlands brings together six characters whose lives are defined by personal and political borders, from across the Indian subcontinent. Through conversations and observations, the characters reveal their efforts to find meaning in a world beyond their
control. Divided families meet, love blossoms across borders, traffickers get caught – in this slice-of-life documentary.
