Seat at the Table
South Asians’ Road to Political Power in America
A Feature Documentary Directed by
Sarita Khurana & Yoav Attias
SEAT AT THE TABLE chronicles the meteoric rise of South Asian Americans in U.S. politics, tracing their inspiring journey from the margins to the forefront of American power.
Through unprecedented access to groundbreaking campaigns during the 2024 elections, the film reveals how this community is transforming the nation’s political future.
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.
- Sarita Khurana & Yoav Attias, Directors
