Pakistani film ‘Zinda Bhaag’ has been released on Netflix, one of the largest providers of on-demand online films in the United States.
Zinda Bhaag is about three young men trying to escape the reality of their lives, ultimately landing on the idea of illegal immigration. In Pakistan, this idea crosses the minds of many who don’t have ample food and money to settle, which the film signifies.
Produced by Mazhar Zaidi and directed by Meenu Gaur and Farjad Nabi, the film bagged 14 international awards in less than two years-it’s most recent addition being the ‘youth jury’ award at the Festival du Film d’Asie du Sud Transgressif (FFAST) in Paris in February 2015.
The film stars Naseeruddin Shah, Amna Ilyas, Khurram Patras, Salman Ahmad Khan, Zohib and Zain Afzal.
