We have been looking forward to the film this Sunday at 5.00 - the fascinating-looking Pakistani feminist western My Pure Land... "One of Britain's irregular submissions in the foreign-language film Oscar category, My Pure Land is a tense siege thriller shot in Pakistan with dialogue in Urdu. British-Pakistani writer-director Sarmad Masud's feature debut dramatizes the true story of a Nazo Dharejo, a teenage girl who took up arms to defend her rural family homestead against an army of gunmen." – Stephen Dalton, Hollywood Reporter.
With a backdrop of the huge problems faced by women in this patriarchal society, the resulting film becomes "heart-poundingly tense and strikingly feminist" – Ed Potton, Times – which would be pretty good for a UK film, never mind one made in Pakistan. We hope this appeals to you as much as it does to us!
