Neelum Films is a production company based on Long Island, New York. It showcases the work of artist and independent filmmaker Mara Ahmed, who believes that documentary film is a unique form of art and a powerful platform for activism.

Documentary filmmaking is particularly suited to stories that one cannot find in mainstream media because they are either too complex or too obscure. At a time when American mainstream media have metamorphosed into a bland oligopoly, such that the line between media, government and corporate interests has become incredibly blurred, documentary filmmaking has taken on the important role of investigative journalism.
