Advances in technology allow modern filmmakers the opportunity to globalize the filmmaking process, allowing them to more easily bring perspectives together from around the world.
Aleem Karmali, a writer, director, editor, producer and founder of Crescent Productions, shares his experiences creating documentaries that bring together voices from across the globe. His latest documentary, Thrown into Canada: The Settlement of Asian Refugees from Uganda, tells the story of the expulsion of Uganda’s Asian community in 1972, which was the first large-scale settlement of non-European refugees in Canadian history. Karmali will discuss the process of documentary filmmaking as well as sharing clips from his most recent film.
