Acclaimed filmmaker Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy has launched Pakistan’s first digital platform that is dedicated to the religious minority groups in the country.
Named as the ‘White in the Flag’, the website will be providing a platform to indulge in discussions about the issues the minorities of the country face. Moreover, it will openly engage and encourage discussions and sharing of real-life experiences.
The driving force behind ‘White in the flag’ is an attempt to create a discourse around their experiences through documenting their history, present and future in various forms stated in a press release.
