Director Statement

My latest documentary film, "The Red Circle," is a powerful exploration of the suffering of thalassemia patients and a comprehensive look at the data surrounding thalassemia around the world. This project has been a labor of love for me, taking two years to complete. Through this film, I hope to bring awareness to the issue of thalassemia and to inspire viewers to take action to help those affected by this devastating disease. I believe that "The Red Circle" will be an important and lasting contribution to the fight against thalassemia. By creating this film in the Balochi language, I am able to reach a wide audience in Balochistan and beyond, ensuring that everyone has access to the information they need to understand and combat thalassemia.
