The Problem With Apu
Premieres Tuesday 16 October at 9.35pm on SBS VICELAND
In this comedic documentary, The Problem with Apu, South Asian-American comedian Hari Kondabolu confronts his long-standing ‘nemesis’ - Apu Nahasapeemapetilon - better known as the Indian convenience store owner on The Simpsons.
Kondabolu discusses how this controversial caricature was created, burrowed its way into the hearts and minds of Americans, and continues to exist - intact - nearly three decades later.
