About the project https://www.wishberry.in/campaign/pao/ Pão is a feature length documentary about food, culture, and migration told through the story of pão – bread – in Goa. This documentary explores the lives of stakeholders of bread in Goa, each one having a unique relationship with bread. We all see Goa as beaches and sunsets. But born and raised here, I have seen behind the curtains. Growing up in Goa, I had my share of pão in all its uniquely Goan varieties. It is a staple food that transcends class and community. Upon moving out of Goa to pursue my studies and subsequent career, I became acutely aware of the tight rope that a migrant has to navigate in order to fit in. Over the years, this made me turn my attention to the dynamics in the place of my birth. The winds of change are blowing across Goa, influenced in no small measure by the happenings in mainstream India. I believe the time is ripe to examine this changing identity. And bread, a food that universally touches the soul of denizens of Goa, is the ideal tool to convey the story of this change. The film tells the story of a society that serves as a microcosm to the world at large. It is a story of culture and its journey through time. The insiders of Goa have been baking for generations, providing Goans their daily bread - but they are fast diminishing in number. Filling this gap are the 'outsiders', who make the journey to Goa looking for employment. Meanwhile, for the returning migrant who has roots in the state, baking bread is a way to reclaim Goa of the past. These three stories are woven together by a meal shared over bread. At the table are Floyd Cardoz, the New York based chef who works closely with the food of his place of origin, Goa; Historian and writer Fatima Da Silva Gracias who digs deep into Goan history; and activist Prajal Sakhardande, a keen observer of Goan society. The three are hosted by Pedro Novais, a young man who has returned from Portugal to his ancestral home in Goa.
