revolutionary energy of hip-hop. He rebelled against his Bangladeshi immigrant parents and rejected his roots. Now a playwright contending with rampant Islamophobic stereotypes in the U.S., Alaudin sets out to piece together and tell his parents&#8217; stories. In Search Of Bengali Harlem follows his quest from the streets of Harlem to the villages of Bangladesh, uncovering a remarkable intertwined history of South Asian Muslims, African Americans, and Puerto Ricans in 1930s-50s New York, and discovering the difficulty \u2013 and necessity \u2013 of inter-generational healing.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-mk1efc3l-a702ef7a97aa7f3670d2f8df03b935b4\">\n.av-horizontal-gallery.av-mk1efc3l-a702ef7a97aa7f3670d2f8df03b935b4{\npadding:3.75% 0px;;\n}\n.av-horizontal-gallery.av-mk1efc3l-a702ef7a97aa7f3670d2f8df03b935b4 .av-horizontal-gallery-inner{\npadding-bottom:25%;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='av-horizontal-gallery av-mk1efc3l-a702ef7a97aa7f3670d2f8df03b935b4 av-horizontal-gallery-large-gap av-horizontal-gallery-enlarge-effect  avia-builder-el-10  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_hr  av-slideshow-ui av-control-default av-slideshow-manual av-loop-once av-loop-manual-once av-horizontal-gallery-2' data-slideshow-data=\"{&quot;enlarge&quot;:1.3000000000000000444089209850062616169452667236328125,&quot;animation&quot;:&quot;slide&quot;,&quot;autoplay&quot;:false,&quot;loop_autoplay&quot;:&quot;once&quot;,&quot;interval&quot;:5,&quot;loop_manual&quot;:&quot;manual-once&quot;,&quot;autoplay_stopper&quot;:false,&quot;noNavigation&quot;:false,&quot;bg_slider&quot;:false,&quot;keep_padding&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;hoverpause&quot;:false,&quot;show_slide_delay&quot;:0}\"  itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class='avia-slideshow-arrows avia-slideshow-controls' ><a href='#prev' class='prev-slide av-horizontal-gallery-prev' aria-hidden='true' data-av_icon='\ue87c' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello'  tabindex='-1'>Previous<\/a><a href='#next' class='next-slide av-horizontal-gallery-next' aria-hidden='true' data-av_icon='\ue87d' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello'  tabindex='-1'>Next<\/a><\/div><div class='avia-slideshow-dots avia-slideshow-controls av-horizontal-gallery-dots fade-in'><a href='#1' class='goto-slide active' >1<\/a><a href='#2' class='goto-slide ' >2<\/a><\/div><div class='av-horizontal-gallery-inner' data-av-height='25'><div class=\"av-horizontal-gallery-slider\"><div class=\"av-horizontal-gallery-wrap noHover\"><img decoding=\"async\" class='wp-image-4865 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-4865 av-horizontal-gallery-img' width=\"825\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ourcinema.in\/festival\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/12\/VivekBald_Headshot-V.-Bald.jpg\" title='VivekBald_Headshot - V.

Alaudin had a long list of personal questions that he sought to answer about Habib, and I had just as many historical ones. The personal questions could only be answered by tracking down friends and family who knew Habib decades ago; the historical questions, required tracking down hundreds of documents scattered across multiple archives in the U.S. and Britain. When it became clear that Alaudin\u2019s Bangladeshi mother \u2013 now gravely ill \u2013 had her own hidden story, Alaudin felt there was no option but to travel far beyond his comfort zone, halfway around the world to his parents\u2019 ancestral villages, to speak with family members he barely knew.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>In Search of Bengali Harlem takes viewers along on this years-long journey \u2013 one that leads to a new understanding of Alaudin\u2019s parents, and transforms our understanding of South Asian migration to the U.S. The film challenges the assumption that South Asians are \u201cnew\u201d and \u201crecent\u201d immigrants to the U.S. and complicates the image of South Asians as doctors, engineers, and tech CEOs welcomed, as model minorities, into the fold of a multicultural U.S.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"featured_media":4601,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","tags":[],"portfolio-category":[],"portfolio-tag":[],"portfolio_entries":[50],"class_list":["post-4390","portfolio","type-portfolio","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","portfolio_entries-kpff2026"],"acf":[],"tpgb_featured_images":{"full":["https:\/\/www.ourcinema.in\/festival\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/12\/INSearchOfBengaliHarlem_PDXFF224621_Still01-V.-Bald.jpg.webp",1920,1080,false],"tp-image-grid":["https:\/\/www.ourcinema.in\/festival\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/12\/INSearchOfBengaliHarlem_PDXFF224621_Still01-V.-Bald.jpg-700x700.webp",700,700,true],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/www.ourcinema.in\/festival\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/12\/INSearchOfBengaliHarlem_PDXFF224621_Still01-V.-Bald.jpg-80x80.webp",80,80,true],"medium":["https:\/\/www.ourcinema.in\/festival\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/12\/INSearchOfBengaliHarlem_PDXFF224621_Still01-V.-Bald.jpg-300x169.webp",300,169,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/www.ourcinema.in\/festival\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/12\/INSearchOfBengaliHarlem_PDXFF224621_Still01-V.-Bald.jpg-768x432.webp",768,432,true],"large":["https:\/\/www.ourcinema.in\/festival\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/12\/INSearchOfBengaliHarlem_PDXFF224621_Still01-V.-Bald.jpg-1030x579.webp",1030,579,true],"default":"https:\/\/www.ourcinema.in\/festival\/wp-content\/plugins\/the-plus-addons-for-block-editor\/assets\/images\/tpgb-placeholder.jpg"},"tpgb_post_meta_info":{"get_date":"December 31, 2025","get_modified_date":"January 15, 2026","category_list":{"post_tag":false,"portfolio-category":false,"portfolio-tag":false,"portfolio_entries":[{"term_id":50,"name":"KPFF2026","slug":"kpff2026","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":50,"taxonomy":"portfolio_entries","description":"","parent":0,"count":39,"filter":"raw"}]},"comment_count":0,"post_likes":0,"post_views":0},"tpgb_post_category":{"portfolio_entries":"<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ourcinema.in\/festival\/portfolio_entries\/kpff2026\/\" alt=\"KPFF2026\"  class=\"portfolio_entries-kpff2026\">KPFF2026<\/a> "},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ourcinema.in\/festival\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio\/4390","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ourcinema.in\/festival\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ourcinema.in\/festival\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/portfolio"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ourcinema.in\/festival\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4390"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/www.ourcinema.in\/festival\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio\/4390\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5193,"href":"https:\/\/www.ourcinema.in\/festival\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio\/4390\/revisions\/5193"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ourcinema.in\/festival\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4601"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ourcinema.in\/festival\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4390"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ourcinema.in\/festival\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4390"},{"taxonomy":"portfolio-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ourcinema.in\/festival\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio-category?post=4390"},{"taxonomy":"portfolio-tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ourcinema.in\/festival\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio-tag?post=4390"},{"taxonomy":"portfolio_entries","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ourcinema.in\/festival\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio_entries?post=4390"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
