Crowdfund This! ZUNN: SHOWGIRLS OF PAKISTAN Pulls Back The Curtain On A Hidden And Forbidden World!

Having already turned heads internationally with his award winning film Chuppan Chupai - a documentary about Pakistan's gay and transgender community - it is clear that director Saad Khan has an affinity for those on the outskirts of an increasingly conservative culture. And he's taking a look at another marginalized population with what appears to be a truly incisive and sympathetic eye in his upcoming effort Zunn: Showgirls of Pakistan.

Showgirls of Pakistan is a documentary feature on the lives of dancing girls in Punjab, Pakistan. It unveils a world of smut theater and strip-shows in small towns and villages through the eyes of the women that are profited from but are never heard. These showgirls are managed by a violent mafia, pimps, boyfriends and promoters who regularly export them to the UAE club scene.

With principal photography already wrapped Khan is looking to crowd fund fifteen thousand dollars to take the film through post production and judging from the quality of the trailer they've already cut that will be money very well spent. Check out the trailer below and support the campaign here.
