Daniel Friedman and Sharon Grimberg
Miss India Georgia (1997), by Daniel Friedman and Sharon Grimberg, tells the story of four beauty pageant contestants in the Indian-American community in Atlanta. The filmmakers captured many insightful moments and interactions, with a running subtext about tradition and change. I wonder what has happened to the young women and their families, more than ten years later.
