Saffron Kingdom: Film Screening & Panel Discussion
Last Friday, ISAK hosted a screening of_Saffron Kingdom_, an award-winning film produced by Daffodil Studios that captures the generational pain and resilience of Kashmir.
The evening began with a warm welcome and reflection, followed by the film screening. Afterward, attendees gathered for a panel discussion and Q&A session with Arfat Sheikh, Producer and Director; Dr. Altaf Husain, Vice President of Yaqeen Institute; and Dr. Ather Zia, Professor of Anthropology, who shared powerful insights on identity, injustice, and the importance of remembrance. The evening continued into a community dinner, where meaningful conversation, connection, and reflection carried on.
May this night help to inspire ongoing awareness, healing, and action, InshaAllah.
