The Mumbai-based Vikalp@Prithvi Online Screenings is screening the documentary film ‘After Sabeen‘ featuring the aftermath of the murder of prominent social entrepreneur and peacemonger Sabeen Mahmud in Karachi, April 2015.
Moments before she was killed, Sabeen, founder and director of the non-profit cultural institution Peace Niche, Karachi, had hosted a discussion on the ongoing disappearances of activists and civilians in Pakistan. She had been warned and advised to cancel the event but she went ahead insisting, “Someone’s got to do this!”
Director Schokofeh Kamiz follows Sabeen’s mother Mahenaz, who was wounded in the targeted attack, and friends to record their memories and grief as well as their ongoing efforts to continue Sabeen’s work.
Before September 21 midnight (India time).

p.s. Also see this wonderful musical tribute to slain comrades by filmmaker and Sapaner Anand Patwardhan who runs the Vikalp screenings series. He updated the song to include Sabeen and the Palestinian journalist Anas Al-Sharif.
