Indu Krishnan

Four years in the lives of a diverse group of contemporary immigrants and refugees as they journey to start new lives in America.

Indu Krishnan’s 'Good Guy Bad Guy' is the story of the engaging yet elusive Zakhir, a young recycler she befriends in her native Bangalore and follows over several years. At once alone and part of a shifting circle of acquaintances and employers, Zakhir navigates urban precarity with a kind of enigmatic pragmatism, refusing steady employment for the freedom from obligation and reinventing his dreams when they fail to materialize. Good Guy Bad Guy is a story of street life and celluloid fantasy, family and violence, tenderness and inconstancy.
