Deepa Mehta ... again

From The Australian, March 29, 2006, the article Plight of widows causes shock waves focuses on filmmaker Deepa Mehta, who resumed the shoot for Water 4 years after Hindu protesters destroyed the film set in Varanasi.

Deepa Mehta is yet another of those celebrities who trash India and are lionized as taboo breakers in western media. Others of her ilk include Arundhati Roy and Mira Nair (OK, I liked Mississippi Masala, but Kama Sutra was frankly pornography, despite good production values).
