TEDGlobal, 2011〕 ==Background== Bacha was born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.〔(''Julia Bacha - Budrus'' (pdf) ) - info sheet of Berlin Film Festival for Budrus〕 Of her move to the United States and transition to filmmaking, Bacha states: :When I was 17 I came to the US to study Middle Eastern history and politics at Columbia University. History was always the subject that I loved the most and I felt it gave me the deepest sense of our humanity and who we are and where we’re going. When I came to Columbia and started taking classes with some of the Middle Eastern professors, it really opened a world for me that I hadn’t had the chance yet to experience. Then I got accepted to Tehran University to do my masters but the Iranian government wasn’t issuing visas to international students at the time. I was caught in a limbo because my visa to be in the US had expired and yet I couldn’t go to Iran. So I accepted an invitation by an Egyptian filmmaker to go to Cairo and work on this documentary called ''Control Room''.〔Romero, Angie. "(Berlin Film Festival Spotlight: Julia Bacha's ''Budrus'' )〕 Bacha was awarded the 2003 Phi Beta Kappa prize upon graduation from Columbia University.〔(Julia Bacha page at Just Vision ) (retrieved 2010-8-2)〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Julia Bacha」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
