A Border Between Us
Directed by Riad Arfin (2023)
When a Bangladeshi man moves across the world to be with his partner in the UK, they discover the unforeseen costs of following your heart. In “A Border Between Us,” Director Riad Arfin explores his personal experience of being in an interracial relationship and trying to settle in a culture very different from his own; between visa rules and cultural norms, is it possible to find a place to call home that works for them both?
