Tara Film Club: The Namesake

Two Worlds. One Journey.

Tara Film Club proudly present The Namesake, directed by Mira Nair

After moving from Calcutta to New York, members of the Ganguli family maintain a delicate balancing act between honoring the traditions of their native India and blending into American culture. Although parents Ashoke and Ashima are proud of the sacrifices they make to give their children opportunities, their son Gogol strives to forge his own identity without forgetting his heritage.
