Welcome to another episode of The Gynarchy Podcast! Today, I have the honor of featuring Nisha Pahuja, an Indian-Canadian documentary filmmaker of the Emmy-nominated The World Before Her and the Oscar- and Peabody-nominated To Kill a Tiger (released on Netflix in March this year) to discuss her films, which focus on the experiences of girls and women in India.
In "Global Women's Voices: India” we explore Nisha Pahuja's journey as a filmmaker dedicated to amplifying the stories and struggles of women from the Indian diaspora.
Here’s what we’ll cover:
- Nisha Pahuja's background and her inspiration to focus on Indian women’s stories
- Highlights and key themes from her documentary To Kill a Tiger, which followed gang-rape survivor Kiran as she and her family deal with the aftermath of her assault and seek justice
- Highlights and key themes from her other documentaries, including Bollywood Bound and The World Before Her, and one in development, Send Us Your Brother
- The cultural norms and societal expectations that affect Indian women, specifically Hindu women
- The dangers of misogyny and sexism in the deeply patriarchal culture of India, and how it negatively impacts both women and men
- Envisioning a path forward, how to change culture
- Stories of empowerment, resilience, and activism depicted in her films
- The impact her films have had in India and the world to create social change
This episode is a must-listen for anyone passionate about global women's issues and the transformative power of storytelling. Join me for an enlightening conversation with Nisha Pahuja that will inspire you to advocate for women's voices worldwide.
