Behind the Lens: Filmmaker Helene Klodawsky

"When I went to Sri Lanka, I realized that most people were afraid to speak about Rajani, not because they weren't inspired by her or they didn't love her — they did. It's just that given the political climate that exists now and then, to speak out about Rajani could mean their own death."
