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:

- 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

Intentionally Disturbing
Join me on this podcast as I navigate the murky waters of human behavior, current events, and personal anecdotes through in-depth interviews with incredible people—all served with a generous helping of sarcasm and satire. After years as a forensic and clinical psychologist, I offer a unique interview style and a low tolerance for bullshit, quickly steering conversations toward depth and darkness. I honor the seriousness while also appreciating wit. I’m your guide through the twisted labyrinth of the human psyche, armed with dark humor and biting wit.
