The Pakistan Experience Film and the #MeToo movement in Pakistan - JAMI - TPE #040
Jami is a film maker and one of the most prominent directors in Pakistan. From directing commercials to some of the most popular music videos to his breathtaking feature film, 'Moor'. A brave raw podcast; Jami begins talking about the state and the future of the film industry in Pakistan, from sponsorship in Film to a lack of a cinematic tradition in the country. Jami then starts talking about the abundance of sexual coercion in the industry, going deep into his own story, from reading the letter at the Lahoti mela to going public with his own sexual abuse case, and how his own friends and journalists abandoned him after that. Jami comes off as a beautiful soul in the podcast. He is a critical voice waving the flag for survivors and supporting the #MeToo movement in Pakistan. The Pakistan Experience is a podcast looking to tell stories about Pakistan, and Pakistanis, through the lost art of conversation.
