Biography
Dr. Siddhi Joshi is a post-doctoral researcher in Geography, a semi-professional documentary maker and human rights activist based in Galway, West of Ireland. Having made two documentaries and inspired by my friend Monica's idea, Pacifist Pirañas Documentaries seemed to be the natural and apt way of combining my interests in a name! This website focuses on the two documentaries: Heart and Hand and Maerl: A Rare Seabed Habitat.
