A tale of fathers and sons, of a world destroyed by the follies of its men, and mended by the faith of its women. Creating this series annihilated me. It also healed me, immeasurably. And on 19th July, #Barzakh will be yours. On @ZEE5Shows and Zindagi YouTube.

Had the greatest pleasure of directing eps 6-10 of #TheOtherBennetSister. This is a story that celebrates womanhood, encourages you to embrace yourself with all your quirks and eccentricities, urges you to always and forever dance to your own rhythm. Watch now on @BBCiPlayer

No story of mine is worth more than the safety of all the beautiful, talented artists who came together to craft it. So this decision really is for the best. For all those who have showered us with love, I hope you enjoy the finale! And remember - stories never die. #Barzakh

[🌻matthew5:14🕊🕊️ @mattttt514]

寓話的世界を通し『Barzakh』は見えないこと、見ようとしないことを可視化する。喪失の苦しみ。産後うつや育児の苦しみ。クィアであることを否定される苦しみ。苦しみを抱え去った人を想う苦しみ。苦しむ人を守るため���を攻撃して生じる苦しみ。
苦しみは昇華されず円環する。変化の鍵を持つのは誰か。

[Asim Abbasi @IllicitusProduc]

It’s time for daddy to face the music. #Barzakh returns for the final 2 instalments on Friday 2nd and Tuesday 6th, 1530 GMT / 19.30 PST - watch on @Zindagi YouTube.
