Interview with Director Mira Nair

[edit] Blurb

Her latest Hollywood offering is "The Namesake," based on Pulitzer Prize-winning author Jhumpa Lahiri’s book. It’s a tale of dislocated first-generation Indians and their U.S.-born children who discover themselves and learn to live between two cultures.[1]

[edit] View from Nowhere
