Tabassum “Ruhi” Khan
is a wanderer, story teller and filmmaker who has found inspiration in movement. At first, she followed her engineer father around India and the Middle East and then her own calling, which took her through clearing houses such as the Discovery Channel, National Geographic Channel, and STAR TV from Washington, DC, to New Delhi, to Hong Kong as a producer, director and channel manager. Currently she is an academic based in Southern California, mapping the story of the inevitability of change and the movement engendered by globalization, which sweeps away even those things imagined as inert and unchangeable.
