Titled Zameen, the third short film from the HOME1947 series will tug at your heartstrings.
21 Jan, 2020

SOC Films has released their third short film from their Partition series, HOME1947.

Titled Zameen, this is the story of a refugee, who with one foot in the world of his father and another in the world of his mother, found his home when he left a part of himself behind.

The clips are deeply personal exploration of the lives and stories of the millions that were displaced in 1947 during the creation of two new independent states, India and Pakistan; SOC Films plans to release 7 short films which recreate the long-lost sights and sounds of what millions once called home and explores this world not through the words of historians and politicians, but through the eyes of those who lived through it.

The series was first premiered as part of the HOME1947 Exhibition at the Manchester International Festival in the UK followed by exhibitions in Mumbai [India], Lahore and Karachi. HOME1947 has been co-commissioned by the British Council in Pakistan in collaboration with the Manchester International Festival and Super Slow Way.

The people of India today are far wise than 1947. They stand united in face of all sinister designs of vested interest party & arrogance politicians to divide & rule. The after shocks of divide yet not over, but both India & Pakistan can undo the inimical affect, by having harmony and good normal relations.

We thank the Almighty for the independence of Pakistan. Seeing what is happening in India. We were saved a similar fate of brutal occupation by foreigners like in IOK.

These clips prove that all the independent countries in South Asia should have been given independence. Like they were before the Great Mughals made it into an empire.

@Zak , I had a talk with an Indian Muslim on this film. My friend told me point black that I am a South Asian and India in my Motherland. So long any Muslim thinks he is of Mughal or Arabian ancestry he is absolutely wrong. 99% of the Pakistani and Indian Muslims are of South Asian origin and the Middle East countries term the Pakistani Muslims as Political Muslims- converted.
