Girl Song (2003)

Girl Song (29 min)
West Bengal/India, 2003, Directed by: Vasudha Joshi

The film enters the life of Anjum Katyal, blues singer, poet and mother, capturing her voice as she performs the blues in her home city of Kolkata, as she reads her poems and journal entries aloud to her daughter, and as she converses with her mother of the cultural heritage she is so proud to be a part of. Anjum also talks of confronting the climate of hostility and distrust towards minorities that is spreading throughout India.
