Anoushay Abbasi’s short film ‘Dancing Doll’ is a story of hardships of a single mother

Short of the week

Parenthood, in any form, isn't an easy job. But that job is only made more difficult when you are forced to do it alone. Bringing a life into this world, then spending the rest of yours to make sure theirs is good is daunting. It truly involves a level of selflessness that can be hard to even relate to for those outside of it. Few mediums have captured the struggle of the single parent (single mothers especially) like film does. From showing us how harrowing it can be, to sometimes giving us glimpses into how rewarding it is as well, there are many films out there that deal with what it's like to be a single mother. One such remarkable short film is Anoushay Abbasi’s recently released Dancing Doll. Dancing Doll is a story of hardships a single mother goes through and the stress she takes to make sure her child’s life is better than hers. This layered tale showcases an unimaginable mother-daughter relationship, with no shortage of affection and love. Penned by Wasiq Ali and directed by Mohsin Talat, the latest short film is co-produced by Ali Hussain and Mahib Bukhari. The film features Anoushay Abbasi, Faizan Khawaja and child-star Angel Kanwal.
