SGS Summer Film Festival: Zinda Bhaag

This is an Archive of a Past Event

Three young men try to escape the reality of their everyday lives in the a nondescript neighborhood of Lahore in Pakistan. Khaldi, Taambi and Chitta, all in their early twenties, are desperate to get on to the fast track to success and believe they can achieve that by going out West. The journey that unfolds gives us a glimpse into what constitutes the everyday in the lives of many young men and women in Pakistan. Directed by Meenu Gaur, Pakistan (2013).

Q&A to follow with Sangeeta Mediratta, Associate Director of the Center for South Asia.
