Tongues On Fire: Bol

Shoaib Mansoor's second feature focuses on a family in Lahore whose patriarch desperately hopes for a male child. Instead, he ends up with seven daughters and an eighth child who is transgendered. The drama is relayed mostly in flashback by the main protagonist, Zainub, who has been found guilty of a crime by a Pakistan court and sentenced to be hanged. With a strong focus on women and the role which religion plays within their lives, Bol broke all box-office records when released last year in Pakistan.

Followed by a Q&A with actress Humaima Malick
