SOC Films has just released the final film from HOME1947, Dark Secrets! It’s deeply personal and chronicles the childhood memories from an idyllic world, of chasing peacocks and eating grapefruit, which came to a crashing end in the ensuing riots that took place during the Partition of the subcontinent in 1947. @sharmeenobaidchinoy #SharmeenObaidChinoy #SOCFilms #HOME1947 #DarkSecrets #Migration #72years #Pakistan #India #SouthAsia https://www.instagram.com/p/B-2hycpjZN9/?igshid=pfj2v72w9k6u

Aamina Sheikh: “AAGAHI i.e. 'Awareness' is the only way for an individual to seek knowledge and to gain empowerment. The power to steer one's life in the direction that they deem apt for themselves is through awareness (AAGAHI). The need for this is most pertinent in our society and the effort of bringing the knowledge and understanding of the law to the common woman and man is most needed in our culture. Therefore, i found it significant and imperative for me to lend my voice to the project that aims to reach those in need. I wish the team the very best and hope that ‘AAGAHI’ reaches all those in need and that they are able to use the information to their advantage for the betterment of their lives.” #AAGAHI #ApnayMustaqbilKi #SOCFilms #bizmaxtv

In the name of Honour

Although the Pakistani women today are setting foot in all walks of life but still, the narrow-mindedness of our society in general haunts us. I’m stuck in a trance after watching the Oscar winning documentary by Sharmeen Obaid Chinoy - A Girl in the River:the price of forgiveness #SOCFilms.

Honestly, that documentary shook me up, it gave me much to think about. It’s amazing how the documentary doesn’t leave you with a conclusion but forces you to judge in your own mental capacity and further ponder upon the social elements savaging a woman’s life in the name of honour. What kind of an honour does a father feel after attempting to murder, or rather successfully his own kin? The answer to that question also lies within, it is us, as a society, we force such criminals to believe that their way of protecting their honour is rightful - when it clearly isn’t, it’s immoral and un-islamic. We praise such men and their heinous crime gives them more pride than ever. Is this it? Is this who we really are, if we are then we aught to be ashamed.
