A feature film by Kirandeep Karnati

Boundaries

Boundaries is an delicate portrait of the lives and experiences of a group of (mostly) South Asian women navigating life in suburban California. It weaves through trials and tribulations, through good times and bad, and everything in between. The story goes on to document some Women in Blue as they break boundaries and make new ones — both — on and off the cricket pitch!
