A short film by two Pakistani students on US drone attacks in Pakistan and their impact on society has won an international film award, however they were refused US visa to receive the award in Washington.
The film was awarded with the Best Audience Award at the National Film Festival for Talented Youth in Washington DC. Filmmakers Muhammad Danish, writer and director, and Atiqullah, producer of the short film, are students at Iqra University, a private management studies institute in Pakistan.
The 20-minute short film revolves around the idea of assessing social, psychological and economical affects on people from the tribal areas of Pakistan. The film identified problems that families face after becoming victims of drone missiles. Besides, it unearths line of action of terrorists groups who then use victim families for their vested interests. Despite being chosen for awards, both the students could not attend the award ceremony. They had applied for US visa twice, but were rejected by the US Embassy. “If we get visa then it would be quite easy and helpful to frame our point of view in front of selected youth film makers,” Danish said.
“The film gained interest from audience across the globe, compelling festival administrators to give Audience Award to the film.”
Would love for the film to be screened in the country of origin as well..
America welcomes only those who speak against Islam & communism but does not give even visa to those who speak against America or West
its seems false news bcz filim name is not given here and also it is not told in which language this film is….its totally a false news dont belive it…
It is quite obvious,why they were refused the US, visa.The visas eligibility and grand welcome by the US administration is based on the strict policy for those who produce material which is Anti-Pakistan,Muslim and Islam…For example Acid throwing,Lyarites plight,Muslim suicide so-called Jihadi bombers,Baloch oppression etc the list goes on and on.Oh ! sorry forgot to add the gang Rape victims ( Mukhtaran Mai).
Will the author of this news or the admin of this site,please provide the following details.
The name of the film? Also where they are located and what language the film was made in.This information is needed to forward to the some friends in the US ,who wish to help the boys in this regard.
Thanks.
