Deepa Mehta describes herself as a cultural hybrid. She finds her passion and her stories in India and the freedom to choose how to make her films in Canada. A woman in a gold and maroon sari stands next to a window, looking out onto the chilly blue light of a snowy Toronto landscape. The image (from the film Heaven on Earth ) dissolves to reveal Deepa’s profile as she talks about moving between the two worlds of Canada and India. Produced by the National Film Board of Canada in co-operation with the National Arts Centre and the Governor General’s Performing Arts Awards Foundation on the occasion of the 2012 Governor General’s Performing Arts Awards.
