BEBAAK ‎

Fatin is an economically vulnerable young woman who gets chastised by a religious authority during a scholarship interview.

A compelling tribute to women struggling to carve a niche for themselves, Shazia Iqbal’s Bebaak presents a stark picture of the nexus between religion and patriarchy that often obstructs their way. Sarah Hashmi delivers a stirring performance as the lead of this fiercely feminist short film.
