Riz Ahmed, Malala join ‘Joyland’ cast for flood relief fundraiser in London

After making waves at the Toronto International Film Festival, the cast and makers of the Cannes-winning film Joyland made their way to London for a screening at the 66th BFI London Film Festival. This time, however, the screening was an even special one—for not one but three reasons.

Giving back to the community, Joyland makers also turned their shows into a fundraiser for flood victims back home and all of their shows were completely sold out.

Malala earlier told Variety she's "incredibly proud to support a film that proves Pakistani artists are among the best in global cinema." She said in a statement, "Joyland invites us to open our eyes to the people closest to us — to see our family members and friends as they are, not coloured by our own expectations or societal bias.”

Joyland will release in Pakistan on November 18.
