Her new film Act of Dishonour, focuses on Mena, young bride-to-be in Northern Afghanistan. Following tradition, she and her fiancé, Rahmat have little contact with each other. But when a Canadian film crew arrives and Mena befriends Mejgan (played by Pazira), their isolated world is disrupted, compelling them to reflect on their societal conventions.
Act of Dishonour was released in Canada last week to great acclaim. It has its Australian premiere at Possible Worlds.
