Far From Home, documentary film debut

I was delighted to be one of 12 Australian Muslims selected for a documentary ‘Far From Home’. A Saudi Arabian TV station commissioned NZ filmmaker Lisa Savage to document Muslim diaspora stories of those living in the West. Shot on location in my home, Southbank, Lentil As Anything, the Islamic Museum of Australia and Sydney Road, this proved to be a comfortable opportunity to impart my personal and professional persona including snippets of my fused Melbourne, Kenyan and Indian identities.

I’m all for embracing platforms for storytelling wherever they’re found, because our singular voices heard collectively, leave an indelible echo.

Looking forward to the release of Far From Home in 2015 in Saudi Arabia, with the possibility of syndication across OIC countries. #watchthisspace
