A woman who threw away her burqa at the age of 9, wrote her first book at the age of 69, did her M.A. at the age of 70, learnt Persian so she could get her father's poetry published, spent years under extreme poverty and did not give up.
We are celebrating a woman, her will, her strength, her determination and her vibrancy. We are making a film on Qamar Azad Hashmi also known as Ammaji. It is a film about her life and the never say die attitude that she has had even in the worst of times. A woman who not only inspired others but also gave strength to them and made them better and stronger people. It is a film about the struggle that she and her family had to go through and how they came out of it. It is a life that not only gives hope to people around her to fight against all odds and emerge as a winner
It is a 10 min film which is in hindustani. It consists if interviews by her, her children and her colleagues. We have also gone and shot at some of the houses she lived in and some of the schools she worked in. It is an honest attempt to look at her life and the times that she lived in.
