I don't think I'll be making documentaries my whole life.

The Pakistani government and its allies must overhaul their policies in Pakistan.

I don't think I'll be making documentaries my whole life.

As filmmakers, you're not working on just one project, you're producing something, directing something, shooting something, and so it becomes hard to do it by yourself.

Where I grew up in Pakistan, it's really the luck of the draw. My mother got married when she was 17. She never went to college but she wanted each and every one of us to go to college and then work. She was relentless about it. And i think that part of who i am is shaped by her strength. If [girls] families support them, they can achieve their dreams

All the women in Pakistan working for change, don't give up on your dreams, this is for you.

But the biggest challenge overall was narrowing down the complex narrative elements into a clean and straightforward story while maintaining a sense of the cultural context that makes the film special.
