KARACHI:
Highlighting corruption in the railways department of Balochistan, Moor seems to have set the wheels of further inquiry in motion. While government officials are taking notice of the issue, the general public is also partaking in the discourse.
Following the release of the movie, Jami was approached by Quetta-based documentary film-maker Ilyas Karim who had footage of people stealing railway property. “He had filmed the culprits in action … stealing metalwork from the tracks,” Jami said.
Under the banner of Jami’s Azad Film Company, Karim managed to produce a 17-minute documentary on the subject, titled, Dhoop Ke Dhare. The film has already been released online.
“We’ll see about the wider release. As of now we’ve released it online. We are also going to talk to television channels to see if they can broadcast it,” Jami added.
