Festival of Lights
A daughter and father are separated but never truly apart in this complexly humanist story about how immigrants are forced to leave their countries to enable a brighter future for their children. Reshma (Melinda Shankar) is a troubled girl from Guyana who must come of age in the strange environs of 1980s Queens, New York. Coping with a daunting array of stressful pressures and betrayals, Reshma grapples with her ruptured relationship with her mother while continuing her difficult efforts to reunite with her father. Documentary filmmaker Prasad’s ambitious feature debut, which spans two continents and three decades, offers a complicated look at the plight of immigrant families and captures the essence of how it feels to be displaced in new surroundings. (cinemastlouis)
After receiving shocking news about her absent father, a rebellious teenage girl embarks on a journey from New York to Guyana to discover the truth about her family's mysterious past. (IMDB)

How To Be Indie
Meet Indie (Melinda Shankar), a Canadian Indian girl just trying to find the real her.
Balancing high school and her family's expectations can be tough but with the help of her friends, Marlon Parks and Abi Flores there's nothing she can't accomplish.
Indie does not shy away and likes to impress others but will this spur her on to be her own person or will the need to please her peers get her into trouble? (PopGirl)

TFTNT But what happened to our title? It was supposed to be "She HAS changed, but all this bad stuff keeps happening to her."

Add me too, please!

When I first started watching Degrassi, it was the camping episode from season 8. Alli/Melinda stole the show for me. She's been one of my favorite characters since.

Here's our list of reasons we started in the previous thread:
1. Alli always manages to give a spark to the show.
2. Through it all, her academic ambitions have never wavered.
3. Because Melinda can carry comedic moments as well as the dramatic plots.
4. Because we can relate to her mistakes and enjoy watching her grow from them.
5. Because our hearts (of glass) break as we watch her struggle.
6. Because she is a little scene stealer. The camera loves her!

Anyone got anymore to add? We really need to fix up the OP.

We talked about using "She HAS changed, but all this bad stuff keeps happening to her." as the thread title. Do we still want to use that? It might be years until we get to a new thread. That one feels really appropriate for her.

Because she's always an ally to her friends? Ignore the lameness of the pun.

We should use that! It's the perfect title for her right now!

Yeah I vote for the title change.

This OP is unbelievably bare considering Alli's contribution to the show over the years. We need to spruce it up.

loganandroryforever started the thread, so it's her (or his?) call on whether to change. Thanks for starting the thread, btw. :high_five

And yes, either way, that opening does need to be spruced up. So get working, artists........

Anyone remember the movie Melinda did with Aidan Quinn, called Festival of Lights? Well, it's finally going to see the light of day, starting with screenings in New York and Atlanta on Friday, as well as screenings later in November in Los Angeles and Detroit.

The film's website, which includes a trailer.

Oh and it looks as if the next episode after this one on Friday, will be an Alli episode.
