About the Documentary
Taxi-vala/Auto-biography (dir. Vivek Renjen Bald, 1994, 48min) is an experimental documentary which explores a complex range of
issues within New York's growing South Asian communities. The work takes as its point of departure
the intersection between a second-generation bi-racial Indian-American (the videomaker), and a group
of recent immigrants from India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh who drive taxicabs, twelve hours a day,
on New York City's streets. Read more
