1
00:00:04,309 --> 00:00:02,389
and we are the aliens in that situation

2
00:00:06,150 --> 00:00:04,319
the the immigrant narrative is very much

3
00:00:07,909 --> 00:00:06,160
a part of binti and i remember when i

4
00:00:09,830 --> 00:00:07,919
wrote it i was not thinking about it at

5
00:00:12,310 --> 00:00:09,840
all but i'm the child of immigrants and

6
00:00:15,910 --> 00:00:12,320
i've grown up hearing the narrative of

7
00:00:17,510 --> 00:00:15,920
immigrants like all my life so that's it

8
00:00:20,070 --> 00:00:17,520
you know that's inevitably going to make

9
00:00:21,670 --> 00:00:20,080
it in there so like this idea of this

10
00:00:23,590 --> 00:00:21,680
girl leaving

11
00:00:25,429 --> 00:00:23,600
you know leaving for this university on

12
00:00:27,910 --> 00:00:25,439
another planet and she has to she comes

13
00:00:29,910 --> 00:00:27,920
from a very insular family and she she

14
00:00:31,589 --> 00:00:29,920
knows she loves her friend that's that

15
00:00:34,069 --> 00:00:31,599
was one of the things that was really

16
00:00:36,870 --> 00:00:34,079
important because a lot of narratives

17
00:00:39,350 --> 00:00:36,880
were where someone is leaving their home

18
00:00:41,830 --> 00:00:39,360
to go somewhere else their home always

19
00:00:44,310 --> 00:00:41,840
is demonized in some way or made to look

20
00:00:46,549 --> 00:00:44,320
like this is a bad place that they're
