We have Ruth Pfau; a woman who dedicated her life to eradicating leprosy in Pakistan, who chose to emigrate to Pakistan from Germany in 1961 when she could have a very comfortable life back there. She dedicated 55 years of her live to fighting Leprosy in Pakistan. We have countless unsung “heroines” of this land worth immortalizing on screen.
But THIS is who gets a drama? A small-time drug peddler whose only claim to fame is a few news cycles?
Instead of digging into the rich, untold stories Pakistan has produced, our writers and producers keep chasing cheap controversy for easy ratings. No original vision. No creativity to tell the stories that actually matter. Pablo Escobar at least built a narrative that shook nations.
No producer thought to make a biopic on Dr. Ruth Pfau. Thats painful.
