For a Sri Lankan Tamil couple chasing a new life in Australia, the old hierarchies don't disappear at the border. KAAZH confronts caste discrimination, exploitation, and immigration hardship head-on, following its characters as they navigate a system stacked against them. Director Mohanraj VJ's drama stars Yugendran Vasudevan, Siddarth Anbarasu, and Mimi Leonard, and won Best Feature at the Toronto Tamil Film Festival and Best Drama at the World Film Festival Cannes, both in 2024.

Why This Film Matters: Caste discrimination follows diaspora communities far beyond South Asia, an injustice rarely portrayed on screen. By tying it to the pressures of migration and labor exploitation, KAAZH shines a light on struggles many face in silence. It's a timely, award-winning story about the barriers that travel with us.
