Documentary in which three British teenagers whose families came from India and Pakistan return there 60 years after the partition that accompanied independence. For Indie, Qasim and Neha it's an emotional experience as they retrace the journeys their relatives made in 1947 when they were forced to flee their homes as British India was divided. The teenagers, a Sikh, a Muslim and a Hindu, meet the communities their families left behind and discuss how the legacy informs their own sense of identity.
