My Take
Senthamizhan Seeman is a fascinating example of a storyteller who jumped the fence into politics. He began as a Tamil filmmaker with period pieces in the 1990s, then became the driving force of the Naam Tamilar Katchi party, championing Tamil nationalism and regional autonomy. I'm drawn to how completely he transferred a director's command of narrative and emotion onto the political stage. He's a polarizing figure, no question, but I respect the all-in conviction. Politicians who come from the arts tend to speak with a warmth and theatricality that career operatives rarely match, and that interests me.
