Of eight billion people on earth, 89.3 million are forcibly displaced. But what happens after the leap across the abyss? How do individuals adapt to societies very different from theirs? How do they create meaningful interactions, acquire new skills, learn a new language and build new lives?

The questions are plenty, but the answer is just one: resilience. The documentary, Displacement & Resilience: Women live for a new day, tells the heart-wrenching tales of five women who were forced to flee home. The subject was proposed by Mumbai based award-winning documentary filmmaker Chandita Mukherjee, who likes to explore the different ways in which people make sense of the world.
