http://www.saiff.org Indian actress Nandita Das directs her first film Firaaq, about the emotional impact of the 2002 riots in Gujarat, India. 

 Nandita Das has had a successful career as an actor, staring in over 30 features , but the events of the 2002 Gujarat riots and subsequent violent fallout called her to go deeper in the question of why man is violent. Her opening at the Zeigfield inspired Paula Gloria to go farther down the rabbit hole as well as Alan Steinfeld who surprised Nandita asking questions she thought would only come up to Hindus and Muslims familiar with the pain of Indian politics.
