This film tells Qandeel's story through her own videos and media appearances. A young, fearless woman who collided with Pakistan's mainstream media, Qandeel exposed the religious right and challenged middle-class morality. From her life before stardom in a rural village to her early days in entertainment as a model and actor, Qandeel gained attention by making provocative web videos. We get to know Qandeel through her family, admirers and those she interacted with and inspired. The film also analyses her life through the lens of class and power politics and connects it to women's continuing struggle for self-expression in Pakistan. Written by the Guardian See less
