SEAT AT THE TABLE

South Asians’ Rise in American Politics

Seat at the Table is a feature documentary that chronicles the rise of South Asian Americans in U.S. politics, tracing their journey from the margins to the forefront of American power.

Suddenly we were watching people who looked like us, who carried the same names, traditions, and family histories, running for office across the country.

At a time when civic participation can feel fragile, these stories remind us that democracy is constantly renewed by new voices. When communities who once felt invisible begin to see themselves reflected in leadership, the entire idea of who belongs in American democracy expands.”
