OCEAN OF PEARLS screening

How far would you go for success? What would you sacrifice — and at what cost?

This gripping drama is about ambition, identity and the cost of belonging.

Amrit Singh (Omid Abtahi), a practicing Sikh, is a brilliant transplant surgeon rising in the high-stakes world of American medicine.

But as he climbs the ranks, he faces mounting challenges — racial profiling, workplace discrimination and a system that demands painful compromises.

A pivotal event ultimately forces him to face the choices he’s made — and what they truly mean.

Critics praise its emotional depth and cultural insight:

— “An affecting story of faith versus duty.” – IndieWire
— “A medical drama, a statement about racism, and an unsentimental look at the generational divide.” – India-West
— “A story with exceptional impact and complexity.” – Los Angeles Times

Winner of three major festival awards, including the Grand Jury Prize at the Los Angeles Asian Pacific Film Festival.

A must-watch film that is poignant, thought-provoking and unforgettable.
