Naeem Randhawa is an award-winning filmmaker, travel writer, and IT project manager, living in Dallas with his wife and baby. He has been writing about travel for over 12 years, and made his film directorial debut last year, with a film about fasting called "American Ramadan" (www.AmericanRamadan.com).
Last year he was in Afghanistan for 30 days and these are his reports about his visit there. For security reasons, earlier plan to publish it when he was in Afghanistan was dropped.
He taught himself filmmaking, to add a voice in countering the current media bias and void of Muslim representation in mainstream media. Last year, the film was picked up and broadcast by Link TV, Geo TV, Bridges TV, as well as international networks. This year the documentary will air across 50 PBS stations this year, and reach over 70 million TV US homes.
His current documentary film productions include "Osama Gets a Gun", and "Tea With The Taliban", filming in the US and Afghanistan.
