The Problem with Apu
2017, English. Directed by Michael Melamedoff.
A documentary about going head to head with a stereotype.
In the history of “The Simpsons,” few characters outside the title family have had as much cultural impact as Apu Nahasapeemapetilon, the Springfield convenience store owner. Comedian Hari Kondabolu is out to show why that might be a problem.
