Inhalt

„I was born in 1913, I met my husband when I was 13. The number thirteen has always been significant in my life“ (Homai Vyara Walla). Homai Vyara Walla was a pioneer in the field of documentary photography. She began taking photographs in the 1930s; her work spans more than three decades in the birth of the ‘young India’ and she is responsible for some of the key images through which this period is framed. From the assasination of Gandhi through to the optimism of independence. In Dalda 13 she narrates the stories behind these images and gives a fascinating account of her extraordinary life. The film further explores the relevance of the work today and why she is a vital, yet unrecognised contributor to the international genres of documentary photography.
