This thought-provoking documentary, with a duration of 52 minutes, is spoken in Dutch, English, and Sarnami, with Dutch subtitles. Delving into an important historical event, it commemorates the 150th anniversary of the first ship of contract laborers departing from Calcutta to Suriname. This marked the beginning of what is now known as the 'Hindostaanse immigratie.' Initially dominated by men, more women joined as people continued to migrate to Suriname. Descendants of these contract laborers share the stories passed down to them by their parents and grandparents. Renowned Surinamist and historian, Professor Dr. Rosemarijn Hoefte, provides an in-depth account of the history of contract labor from British India to Suriname and offers valuable insights into the personal narratives of (Haagse) Hindostaanse women. This event welcomes visitors of all ages. There will be a post-screening discussion with the director Anita Bharos and Rosemarijn Hoefte. Join us at Bijlmerbios film(t)huis in Amsterdam, located at Bijlmerplein 888, 1102 BR Amsterdam, for this captivating exploration of Hindostaanse immigratie.
