Growing up in a newly free India, film-maker Aruna Raje came to be deeply interested in the idea of freedom – for herself, those around her and for the society she was growing up in. To become truly independent she had to do lot of unlearning including disengaging herself from the conversations of the past.
It was with her fourth film Rihaee (1988) that she rediscovered herself and her own creative expression. Her book Freedom – My Story, is the chronicle of a radical thinker and film-maker in a male-dominated world showcasing her struggle, her inspirations and the prejudices she has to deal with and ultimately the freedom her art offered.
