Where We Belong

Where We Belong is a short documentary film on the Chagossian community who were forcibly driven out of their Archipelago between 1965 and 1973 by the UK government. The Chagos Islands, found in the Indian Ocean, is now used for a U.S Military Base. Recently, the International Court of Justice have issued an advisory opinion and concluded that, "the United Kingdom is under an obligation to bring to an end its administration of the Chagos Archipelago as rapidly as possible”. "Where We Belong" is the story of the Chagossians women and men who are still fighting for their rights and can never forget their "Paradise Island".
