The Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC) is proud to partner with Daffodil Studios and the Islamic Center of Southern California (ICSC) for a special screening of Saffron Kingdom, a bold and poignant film exploring the layered truths of Kashmir through memory, exile, and resistance. As Kashmir often gets lost in the global narrative, we would like to highlight the Kashmir conflict in honor of the Kashmiri people living under occupation since 1947 and those who have risked their safety and that of their families to create this film.

The program will feature an opening statement from Daffodil Studios President, Dr. Ghulam N. Mir, and will conclude with an in-depth conversation with MPAC President, Salam Al-Marayati, and Director and Producer, Arfat Sheikh on art, justice, and the ways storytelling shines a light on repression around the world.
