Sandstorm

A Karachi schoolgirl’s world falls apart after she shares a sensual dance video with her virtual boyfriend, who proceeds to blackmail her.

British-Pakistani filmmaker Seemab Gul brings a distinctively Muslim perspective to the perils of online relationships. Acclaimed at Sundance and Venice, Sandstorm portrays the struggle of teenage protagonist Zara – played by a wonderful Parizae Fatima – to stand up against manipulative behaviour and reject the confines of a patriarchal society.
