Pratibha Parmar Brings Alice Walker's Art to Life | Fabulous Feminism | Scoop.it

She speaks on her documentary and unwavering friendship with Walker.

 

"Pratibha Parmar, a writer, director, and producer has always had a passionate commitment to telling human stories that illuminate experiences rarely seen in the mainstream. Born in Nairobi, Parmar moved to London at age 11 and worked as a youth-community worker with young Asian women before making documentaries on genital mutilation and the African-American women of the Civil Rights Movement. Most recently she directed "Alice Walker: Beauty in Truth" celebrating the first African-American woman to win the Pulitzer Prize for fiction. In honor of Walker's 70th birthday and Black History Month, Women In the World spoke with Parmar about retelling Walker's words."
