This week’s episode of Someone Else’s Movie is dropping just days before the Oscars, which makes it even more of a miracle that my guest was available to do it.

Fortunately, Toronto filmmaker Sami Khan — who shares a Best Documentary Short nomination with Smriti Mundhar for St. Louis Superman, and has been on the campaign trail with her ever since that nomination was announced — was back in town for a couple of days to see his family, and willing to take an hour to do the show.

I’m really glad he did, because his choice — Julie Dash’s landmark American drama Daughters of the Dust — is a movie that’s still shamefully overlooked these days, despite a resurgence a couple of years ago and a gorgeous digital restoration. It’s effectively a lost masterpiece, even though it’s right there on Netflix. And I’m happy to have the chance to talk about why, and maybe even to take a little responsibility on that score.

That sounds like something worth listening to, right? So join us!
