check out this new film by saad khan on indiegogo. it tells a story that’s mostly missing from mainstream media.
“We are young Pakistani Filmmakers who are passionate about telling stories of marginalized groups in Pakistan. Our latest feature documentary takes an intimate look at the off-stage lives of “showgirls” in Pakistani Circuses and low-brow theater. Zunn* – Showgirls of Pakistan reveals a world tightly controlled by an often violent mafia where showgirls must negotiate their place in the industry. At the same time, their offstage lives are made difficult by a patriarchal and puritanical society that consumes yet rejects them.”
