I would love to offer you an in-person interview with the director Adam J. Graves and producer Suchitra Mattai on the 5th/6th February.

This important film is produced by Suchitra Mattai, Academy Award Winner Guneet Monga Kapoor and Mindy Kaling.

‘Anuja’, produced in collaboration with the non-profit organization Salaam Baalak Trust (SBT), supporting street and working children, follows a 9-year-old, back-alley garment factory worker, and her sister Palak, where the young protagonist is ‘offered with a once-in-a-lifetime chance to attend school’, but she is forced to make a heart-wrenching decision that will determine her and her sister’s fate.

Adam J. Graves (Writer/Director) is a philosopher-turned-filmmaker who wrote, directed and produced the award winning short film Cycle Vérité (2021). He is married to the acclaimed visual artist Suchitra Mattai (producer of ANUJA).

Suchitra Mattai (Producer) is a multi-disciplinary artist of South Asian descent, whose work celebrates the power of women, reimagines historical narratives, and explores her family’s history of indentured labor.
