Freida Pinto Instagram – 9 years ago today, a little indie film called Desert Dancer premiered. It was and still is film about the freedom of expression and how important it is to fight for human rights in our lives today. We trained with Choreographer Akram Khan (who created the opening ceremonies of the 2012 London Olympic Games) six days a week for four months, to master the modern dance moves required for the film and continued to train during the shoot. Did you know the shoot was banned from Iran so we shot it in Morocco, Paris and London? Paris, France
