A Mother's Journey With Anger | Nandita Das | TEDxShivNadarUniversity

Sharing a deeply personal journey with anger, Nandita Das illustrated the fine line across which anger becomes violence. Drawing from her conversations with her son, she shows the reflection of our actions by those who look up to us.

Spanning a critical duration of her life, she tells us how her struggle with anger affected everything from her work to her own perception of herself and her child.
