A joy to be in conversation with *Arundhanti Roy* after the screening of her movie, *In Which Annie Gives It Those Ones*. She kept it real, was funny, the audience was very warm. I saw this movie about clashes between students & profs with my ex-student & we shared big laughs :)

I’m about to meet one of my real‑life heroines!! This week, I get to talk to the beautiful & brave writer, Arundhati Roy, about her newly restored *In Which Annie Gives It Those Ones* as part of London Indian Film Festival The film will screen before our Q&A! whatson.bfi.org.uk/Online/defau...
