The Interview

Available for over a year

In culturally conservative, male dominated Pakistan, can an actress be an agent of change? Stephen Sackur speaks to the country's biggest female movie star Mahira Khan. Women in the movie industry have taken the lead in a movement for equality, respect and an end to abusive male behaviour. The mantra #MeToo has become a cultural phenomenon in the United States but how far can it reach? (Photo: Pakistani actress Mahira Khan at the Beirut International Awards Festivals (BIAF), 2017.
