Today, I’m joined by Alka Raghuram, an independent filmmaker who makes narrative, documentary, and experimental films, as well as multimedia projects. Alka and I discuss how her childhood in Indore, India helped shape her career, the influence of certain film professors, and the story behind her documentary film, Burqa Boxers, and an upcoming sci-fi project.

Topics Covered:

●      The ethics around telling stories, particularly the ones that aren't our own

●      Inhabiting both insider and outsider views with understanding and mindfulness  

●      The unique way that Alka judges the success of her projects 

●      Gaining confidence to tell ambitious stories 

●      Alka’s plan for depicting the intersection of the mythology and pollution of India’s sacred Jamuna and Ganges rivers
