A valuable addition for social justice-oriented library shelves. Highly recommended."  — Video Librarian "The filmmakers have seen the effects of a community driven film, the way it brings people together and continues to provide a platform for underserved voices, and they encourage others to do the same."  — The Hollywood Reporter About the Filmmaker Mishal Mahmud is a Pakistani writer/director.
