The federal government has banned a documentary film “Among the Believers” directed by Mohammad Ali Naqvi despite the fact that it has been screened in 20 countries and has already bagged 12 awards, according to media reports.
The documentary focuses on the Lal Masjid situation and apart from following Maulana Abdul Aziz and his network for five years it also contains those never-shared-before stories of people who stood up against extremist ideology.
