The Streets Are Ours

This documentary short, directed by Michelle Fiordaliso, tells the story of Pakistani activist, Sabeen Mahmud, founder of Karachi performance space T2F, and how she affected the life of American actress/writer Fawzia Mirza.

Weaving verité footage with the penultimate interview of Mahmud, the film shows Mahmud and Mirza’s lives intersecting in a transformational way. Mahmud’s message of peace, empathy and self-expression lives even after her tragic murder.

The film has shown in over 40 festivals around the world, has won five awards including a Gold Plaque for Best Documentary Short at The Chicago International Film Festival. It was also featured by Frameline Shorts as their film of the month to honor International Women’s Day in March, 2018
