Asif Kapadia wurde im Jahr 1972 in Hackney, London, England, UK geboren. Er ist Produzent und Regisseur, bekannt für The Warrior (2001), Senna (2010) und Amy (2015).
Kapadia's documentary technique is to avoid the lazy trap of using a lot of talking heads, and instead to dig deep into the available archival material.
[About directing his film "The Warrior" in a desert in Rajasthan] "The
crew suffered the odd illness along the way; dehydration, sunstroke,
heat-stroke, malaria, dysentery, scorpion stings, being bitten by rabid
dogs, the usual kind of thing."
