Indus Blues (2018) dir. Jawad Sharif

Pakistani folk artists talk about their struggle to keep a fading art form alive while reminding the world what they are about to lose. Indus Blues is breathtakingly beautiful. It is a tale of dying cultures across Pakistan--a country that has traded culture and beauty for Wahabism and 18th century colonial prudishness. The film is very bold in its attempt to document the struggles of folk music in a country that has literally started to look at music as something haram (forbidden). Bravo! Everyone needs to watch this film.
