‘Seat at the Table’ with filmmakers and special guests in person

Dirs. Sarita Khurana and Yoav Attias. 2026, 90 mins. U.S. DCP. Seat at the Table  chronicles the rise of South Asian Americans in U.S. politics, tracing a remarkable journey from political disenfranchisement to an increasingly powerful presence in American civic life. Filmed during the 2024 election cycle, Khurana and Attias follow congressional and state-level candidates alongside grassroots organizers, voters, and communities as a record number of South Asian Americans seek elected office. 

With intimate vérité access, the film captures a community awakening to its political power at a pivotal moment in American democracy. Moving beyond individual campaigns, Seat at the Table explores representation, belonging, and the ways immigrant communities are reshaping who participates in, and ultimately holds power within, American political life. 

The screening will be followed by a conversation with the filmmakers and special guests about the making of the documentary, South Asian political representation, and the communities helping to redefine who has a seat at the table in American civic life.
