Pratibah Parmar discusses Alice Walker’s ‘Truth’

Pratibha Parmar is an acclaimed filmmaker, among the first of a generation of queer British filmmakers who were also people of color. Among her many noteworthy films are Reframing AIDS (1987) and Khush (1991). In 1993, she made Warrior Marks, a film about female genital mutilation, based on a book by Alice Walker and Parmar. Warrior Marks was controversial amongst many who opposed Walker and Parmar’s political stance against FGM, but cemented a long-standing collaboration and friendship between the two women.
