Mira’s Minders (USA)
Directed by Tanni Chaudhuri
Mira’s Minder is a visual narrative on India’s emergent caregivers (aayas) from Kolkata, West Bengal. Many caregivers, from rural or semi urban geographic spaces travel to the cities to work in domestic settings to look after children and the elderly. This docu fiction (three fictionalized short stories of women working as caregivers are embedded within interviews), examines this domain of work embedded in intriguing gendered narratives, within the context of developing nations (different from unorganized domestic-help labor market of the past).
