Join us for a dialogue with acclaimed Indian activist filmmaker, Shri Prakash.

For close to three decades, Indian documentary filmmaker Shri Prakash has focused his lens on uranium mining's impacts on Indigenous communities in Asia, Africa, and North America, as well as the grassroots struggles these impacts have instigated. His latest film, 'Two Indians,' takes him back to the American Southwest, where he is currently reconnecting with many of the academics, activists, and community leaders he interviewed for his previous film on uranium mining in the region 'Nabikei.' The film will also reflect on Shri's own positionality as an Indian seeking solidarity with the Indigenous peoples of Turtle Island / North America.

Join us for an in-depth conversation with Shri about the challenges of filming Indigenous struggles against nuclear extractivism around the world. This is a unique opportunity for students and scholars passionate about environmental justice and/or fascinated by cinematic storytelling to connect with someone who has been working at the intersection of both for many years. Shri will present his unedited footage from New Mexico to facilitate a dialogue about the responsibilities that non-Indigenous persons have to fulfill when conveying Indigenous stories, as well as documentary film-making's potential for solidarity-building in an age of crisis.
