MA FILMMAKING (SCREEN DOCUMENTARY), GOLDSMITHS UNIVERSITY OF LONDON

Filmmaking is a way within which the intricate details of our realities can be told. What acts as escapism for some, can be a window into the unknown for others.

Storytelling, when done right is a beautiful thing and as a Muslim woman, I will be contributing to this discipline. I intend to take what I have learnt from my past studies in Broadcast Journalism, International Relations and Photojournalism, as well as several years of working as a freelance journalist, and apply it to this field.

As individuals, we have to put ourselves into positions where we can lay the foundations that enable us to enact change. Muslims are more than a headline, more than a trending topic, and more than a stereotype.
