Meredith Blake: Mira Nair, the Creative Visionary Who Shaped New York's Next Mayor
A look at the trailblazing director of Monsoon Wedding, Salaam Bombay!, and Mississippi Masala

To celebrate the victory of #ZorhanMamdani in NYC, I’ve been having a small film festival with films made by his mother, #MiraNair. I saw Queen of Katwe and Mississippi Masala when they came out, and I just watched Monsoon Wedding.

And, wow, I was FLOORED by a subplot involving a pedophile character with strong parallels to #Epstein — the way both used money to lure people in, exploit them, and buy their silence.

A 25-year-old movie that hasn’t aged a bit. Fun! Recommended! But a big CW.
