Emmy Winner: UK Anti-Immigrant Sentiment Affects Filmmaking

Deeyah Khan, a documentary filmmaker who has won awards, says that the rise in negative feelings towards immigrants in the UK is making it harder to make certain types of films.

She thinks this affects which stories get told and how people are seen.

Khan has noticed that immigrants, especially those of color, are sometimes treated poorly.

She makes films to show different perspectives and encourage people to understand each other.

She believes that documentaries are very important, especially now, to share the truth and help people see each other in a more human way.
