The Gas Station Attendant
As a boy, HN Shantha Murthy ran away from home to escape the poverty of his Indian village. He travelled the country for work, hoping that one day his life would change. Karla Murthy's film also explores her own identity as a first-generation American. What emerges is an intimate love letter - a meditation on a complicated father-daughter bond and a poignant tribute to the immigrant working class.
