Mohammed Naqvi

The story of Mukhataran Mai touched many, but only few of us have done what Mohammed Naqvi, the Pakistani American filmmaker, has.

He has made a feature-length documentary on Mukhtaran Mai that celebrates her strength to emerge as a human rights icon symbolizing social change.

“Shame” is the name of the documentary. So far, it has received numerous awards, including a Television Academy Honor presented by the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences. The awards that the filmmaker, Mohammed Naqvi, has won include:

- Overseas Press Club of America's Carl Spielvogel Award

- South Asian Journalist Award

- Amnesty International Humanitarian Award

- EBS International Documentary Festival Special Jury Prize

- Full Frame Documentary Film Festival Award

So, who is Mohammed Naqvi?

Ofcourse, he is an NRP.

He was born in Karachi, Pakistan and grew up in North America.

Only few of us know that he made the award-winning documentary, “Terror’s Children”, which saw the launch of Discovery-Times Channel.

He is also the producer of Big River, a narrative feature, which was screened at Berlin Film Festival.

For this creative soul, there is no stopping….
