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.
