The
In-Between World of M.G. Vassanji
Thursday, March 09, 2006 @ 8:00pm ET
on Canada's Bravo Channel
While documentary filmmaker Robin Benger
was watching the 2003 Giller Prize broadcast of M.G. Vassanji
winning his second award, this time for The In-Between World of
Vikram Lall, he was intrigued by three things: how unassuming
the writer seemed to be; the fact that Vassanji, like Benger, was
from Africa, and wrote about it; and that Vassanji was the
Canadian contribution to the constellation of star writers of
Asian background in international literature. Three years and
three continents later, comes The In-Between World of M.G.
Vassanji, an one-hour documentary, written and directed by
Benger, that takes a look at the places, people and experiences
that have lead to the success of this little-known author. |
