Mira Nair,an Indian vision from New York

‘ I haven't ever been in exile because I have chosen to cross many oceans, but only in a voluntary manner. It is very different for friends of mine - artists, poets and writers I love - who have had exile imposed on them. I feel very much that cinema is born as a medium to capture exile. The idea of going out of your hotel in Mississippi and looking out of your window and seeing your garden in Kampala. This something that cinema lends itself to brilliantly, almost as much as literature’
