Join the conversation
#UnderOurSun creates a space for stories that connect our different communities. This digital social media initiative carries the themes of Kavery Kaul’s film The Bengali beyond the screen.
What stories did your grandparents pass down to you?
Where does your history show up in the food on your table?
When your life stretches across continents, what does “home” really mean?
Post your memories, reflections, and experiences on Instagram, Facebook, or TikTok.
Because when we tell our stories, across time, place, and culture, we understand each other. We move forward.
Post your own story and follow us on social media #UnderOurSun.

The Story that Started it
Named one of Nonfics’ Top 20 Documentaries, The Bengali takes an American woman to India to uncover her grandfather’s past. A personal search becomes a deeper exploration of migration, memory and belonging, breaking barriers and building bridges across communities.
Campaign Goals
Build Community
Amplify our unique cultural stories to spark awareness of how deeply connected we are.
Shift Perception
Reframe how we think about migration, belonging, and mixed heritage.
Use Media with Purpose
Harness social platforms to create meaningful storytelling.
Why It Matters
The multiracial population in the U.S. grew 276% over the past decade, reflecting a rapidly evolving sense of identity.
Over 280 million people globally live outside their country of birth, shaping culture, economies, and communities.
Much of our history still lives in oral storytelling, at risk of being lost without intentional preservation.
