1. How it began
While pursuing her Master’s in Fine Arts at Hosftra University in New York, Indrani Kopal laboured over a short documentary titled “The Game Changer.”
The documentary profiled three-time nominated CNN Hero Susan Slotnick, a pioneering dancer and choreographer who taught dance to the inmates at the Woodbourne Correctional Facility in New York, a medium security men’s prison.
This was back in 2013. The short documentary film eventually won best documentary at the 9th Harlem International Film Festival in 2014 and the American Pavillion’s Emerging Filmmaker Showcase at the Cannes Film Festival 2015.
