THE LOST JEWS OF PAKISTAN, 12min., USA
Directed by Alexander Nilsen
Imagine a scenario where a teenage boy’s compassion shines through for a religious community that was forgotten, transforming a neglected graveyard into a place of beauty and solace. That’s the heartwarming story we captured in our documentary: The Lost Jews of Pakistan. It’s a tale that will inspire audiences and remind them of the incredible power of unifying religions while honoring our ancestors.

Podcast with director Alexander Nilsen and Writers Eric Brionez & Zeineddine Zuberi


Get to know the writers:

Zein – I wanted to raise attention to the lost Jewish community of Pakistan. Wanted to build bridges between people across faiths.

Eric – Zeineddine’s father randomly called me at 11pm one day and told me about his son restoring a graveyard in Pakistan. I was immediately intrigued by the storyline and compelled to help bring it to life visually! I knew it was going to be challenging as this was my first short film to produce. But his father and I really clicked over the phone, we had this natural chemistry and commitment to see it through. So the motivation for me was to deliver a film his father and Zeineddine could be proud of. While also finding a way to educate the audience and weaving in emotional elements of humanity.
