A documentary about Pakistan's first and only Nobel Laureate in Science, Dr Abdus Salam, will be on Netflix in October.

Salam — The First ****** Nobel Laureate, a feature-length film, has already won accolades on the international film festival circuit, including DFW South Asian Film Festival, South Asia Human Rights Festival, South Asian International Film Festival and the South Asian Film Festival of Montreal, among others.

When he won the Nobel prize in 1979, he became the very first Pakistani to achieve this distinction, and only the fourth from the subcontinent.

Born in 1926 in a remote village in Punjab, British India, Salam was a child prodigy. He came from humble beginnings, growing up in a small brick house with a large family of eleven. While Salam’s legacy looms large in the world of physics, he is largely forgotten in Pakistan because of his faith.

Salam — The First ****** Nobel Laureate will be available to stream on Netflix starting October 1st, 2019.

Well deserved recognition of the accomplishments of Dr. Abdus Salam. Where would the ungrateful nation of Pakistan be without his contributions to the country. Instead of honoring this gentleman, they have taken his name away from all text books because of his faith. Go figure. Result being that many in Pakistan don't learn about this true hero's achievements and that is a pity.
