What Way Emancipation? is an auto-ethnographic documentary seeking a deeper understanding of culture within the context of Navayana Buddhism, a relatively recent addition to the global religious landscape. 

The film examines the role that Buddha Vihars  (Buddhist community centres) play in shaping this nascent faith and the impact of religious conversion on the lives of formerly marginalised castes in India.
