Women at the Oscars

Oscar nominated directors Nisha Pahuja and Nazrin Choudhury tell Datshiane Navanayagam about the women at the centre of their movies.

Datshiane Navanayagam meets two Oscars nominated directors who put women at the centre of their movies.

Nazrin Choudhury is a British filmmaker of Bangladeshi descent. Her directorial debut, Red, White and Blue, follows the story of an American single mother, living paycheck to paycheck, who crosses state lines to try and get an abortion.

Nisha Pahuja is an Indian-Canadian filmmaker. Her movie, To Kill A Tiger, is a poignant documentary about an Indian family seeking justice for their daughter, who was gang raped at 13.

Produced by Jane Thurlow and Alice Gioia
