Interview with the Director Mira Nair at the special Tongues on Fire (TOF) Charity screening of the 21st year of release of Salaam Bombay! in NTF1 at the British Film Institute (Southbank) at 12.45 h00 on 5 December, 2009
screening was followed by a drinks reception, Q&A session with the director and an auction of memorabilia from the film, all in support of Salam Balak Trust.
Salaam Bombay! is Mira Nair (Amelia)'s 1988, Cannes-winning masterpiece about street children in Bombay/Mumbai. Beautifully shot, gritty, thought-provoking and realistic, this Hindi film gives a more moving, deep and down-to-earth portrayal of life in India's slums than the entertaining but romanticised perspective taken by Danny Boyle's Slumdog Millionaire. Mira Nair was a key figure in the founding of SBT in 1989, following the success of the film, and is passionately involved with the cause.
