Mixing reflections on aging, mortality and love, Baljit Sangra’s documentary, Many Rivers Home,

examines the ties that bind South Asian families in a Lower Mainland seniors’ residence. There is rich

human portraiture here, and a depiction of a vibrant ethnic community, but the core of the film is the

director’s love for her mother.
