Film is a uniquely transcendent artistic medium, because it allows storytellers to intimately portray a lived experience for a wide audience of people across time, identity, and place. The greatest films have the ability to expand our perception and empathy, to teach and inform, and – ultimately, hopefully – to inspire us to real action. Known for tackling social issues through films, SOC Films is back with yet another documentary series touching the lives of minorities in Pakistan. The series titled Forsaken present a moving set of stories highlighting important issues that affect a younger generation of religious minorities living in Pakistan today. These first person accounts provide a window into how Pakistan’s minorities are perceived by the wider society.
