Our Mission

Neelum Films is committed to making documentaries that highlight the voices and stories of people of color. Our goal is to create dialogue across racial, political, class, and geographic divides.

‘The Injured Body’ is the fourth documentary produced by Neelum Films. Previous films have been screened internationally, distributed widely (especially in the educational market), broadcast on WXXI, streamed on Amazon Prime and MUBI, and used in college and university curricula across the country.

Why are films written, directed and produced by women of color important?

Junot Diaz writes about diversity in the arts – how nonwhite minorities are ghosts in the culture that surrounds them. There is nothing in popular culture that gives them insight into their own experiences. He explains how he is a marker of a great unhappy absence. As a Pakistani American filmmaker, Mara Ahmed can relate.

Communities need a variety of narratives. Not just as curiosity or for entertainment, but because it helps everyone understand who they are – complex human beings with their own multiplicities.
