A film by Mohan Sivaloganathan
Centered on the late Sivaloganathan Muttuswamy — who grew up in Sri Lanka, a nation of both tropical beauty and deep complexity — IN PURSUIT OF explores a life shaped by ambition, propelled by success in America, and shadowed by the sacrifices left behind.
You have heard about immigrants to the United States who made it to the top, but this story is brighter and darker. Brighter, because he climbed the ladder and “sent it down” to create generational momentum. Darker because he was haunted by scarcity and dissatisfaction. A leader who etched himself into history, yet his story was unfinished.
His son is the film’s narrator, and you join the family as they grieve, reflect, and retrace Sivaloganathan’s journey from the shores of Sri Lanka to the streets of America. When the lines between brightness and darkness blur, the film leaves us with a poignant question: Is it possible to find peace through greatness?
This isn’t the typical
immigrant hero’s journey
Everyone is part of a journey
IN PURSUIT OF is a story about generational momentum. But it’s also incomplete. In a moment where a rising generation of leaders is searching for a new, healthier model to live out their purpose, the film provides a springboard for reflection and reimagination on their journeys.
A growing community is coming together around the film and its themes to create a new direction for leadership and new definition of greatness.
