New Delhi: “Destination Aligarh”, a television documentary which is budgeted to cost USD40,000, is a cross-border (Indo-Pak) project initiated by a UAE-based documentary filmmaker Amna E Khaishgi. “This documentary is a first of its kind and a unique audio visual tribute to this great university which has changed the lives of millions of Muslims in the Subcontinent,” she said.
The film, which will be a complete HD production, is the first-international documentary based on AMU. Khaishgi hopes that resourceful Aligarh Old Boys will contribute to the project and become its part.
“This university has given so much to people like you. Now this is the time to tell the world what AMU really means to you. This could be your token of gratitude to your alma mater.”
Destination Aligarh will be exhibited at international festivals and in those cities where AMU Old Boys are pursuing their careers. It promises to connect all Aligs to their beloved educational institution.
Amna Ehtesham Khaishgi is a documentary film maker based in the UAE.
Khaishgi has produced documentaries on diverse human, social, political and business issues for several international channels including Pakistani TV Channels GEO and ARY.
