Teasing out the story of burlesque legend Tempest Storm

The Toronto Star featured director Nimisha Mukerji who graduated with a double major in English literature and film production from UBC.

Her film Tempest Storm will make its world premiere at Hot Docs. Mukerji discussed the impact of her documentary work.

“These are all real people, they’re real lives,” she said. “You might stop filming but that doesn’t mean their life stops. You have a responsibility and accountability to these people on such a profoundly deep level.”
