MsMarvel director Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy recently spoke about visualizing India-Pakistan partition.
If you are a South Asian and saw the latest episode of Ms. Marvel, the train station scene would have hit too close to home for your comfort. If you are part of the global audience, you just witnessed a fraction of the pain and suffering, millions went through during one of the world’s largest mass migrations.
During episodes 4 and 5, Kamala goes back in time to learn more about her powers and her great-grandmother Aisha. Drawing from her own work, the Pakistani-Candian director also looked into oral histories from the Citizens Archive of India as well as Margaret Bourke-White’s photographs, who in 1947 photographed the processions leaving their homes, refugee tent camps, and train stations.
REVEALED: 'Ms. Marvel' Episode 5 Review: A Trail of Stars Leads the Way to an Emotionally Satisfying Penultimate Chapter So for the first half of partition, I wanted Kamala to be Kamala.
