The Pakistani film 'Gunjal Entangled' was screened in Saudi Arabia.
Riyadh: The Pakistan Embassy hosted the Saudi premiere of the Pakistani film “Gunjal Entangled,” hosting the actors and crew to present the film at the Cultural Palace in Riyadh.
The film “Gunjal Entangled” is based on the life and murder of Iqbal Masih, a Pakistani child labor activist.
“Such an event has never happened here in Saudi Arabia, where the cast, crew, and team came to Saudi Arabia to screen the movie alongside the audience,” Shoaib Sultan, the film’s director, told Arab News.
“This film is based on genuine events, and we’re honoring a hero. His name was Iqbal Masih, and he spoke about labor and human rights. “This is a very important topic,” the filmmaker stated.
“We’re thrilled to have this video presented in Saudi Arabia. We believe it is a global film, as we have attended numerous festivals.
We sought to promote the picture in Saudi Arabia, a burgeoning film market. “We see a lot of opportunities, and people are excited to collaborate,” he said.
