Overview
This experimental documentary examines the life of Manjula Joshi, an Indian woman from the Punjab who works 12 hours a day making poori bread at a Chicago restaurant. Employing competing words, images, and text, the work addresses women’s roles in traditional culture, the value of women’s labor, the exploitation of immigrant women, and the experience of immigration.
