YOU FOLLOW: A SEARCH FOR ONE’S PAST: In 2009, Nisha Grayson packed her bags with four of her closest friends and set out on a journey from the home she had known for 28 years in Sacramento CA, off to her birthplace in Goa, India–it was a quest for answers, family and true identity. You Follow chronicles the experiences of an adoptee with a mind full of questions and heart full of determination. In its essence, You Follow is a compelling story about resilience, family and identity.

Panel discussion will follow the film.
