Fariha

2023 MENA Canada Filmmaking Grant-winning film. Screened at MENA 5 as a work in progress preview.
Synopsis:

In the media, there is a huge disconnect between Afghans represented and Afghans that I grew up with. I wanted to create a film showcasing a glimpse of my grandmother, Fariha, as to me, she embodies most of the Afghan women that I am surrounded by. Afghans are complex, joyful, humorous, emotional, and deeply intelligent people - too many times those qualities are overlooked by the shadow of violence, war, and oppression - but my people are so much more than that.
