Filmmaker Sanjeev Chatterjee’s work focuses on issues of identity among people in the Indian diaspora. Since Mahatma Gandhi’s first hand introduction to racism and injustice as a young lawyer in South Africa, people of Indian origin have played a significant and historical role in the creation of the modern South African state. From their imprisonment alongside Nelson Mandela during the anti apartheid movement to participation in the new era of democracy, Dirty Laundry introduces viewers to the work and struggles of the South African Indian community, while providing a hopeful model for easing religious tensions in India.
