"Ashura" Short documentary film by Jack Somerville

"Ashura" Short documentary film

Miriam Films producing a short documentary film under the name "Ashura" (directed by Jack Somerville).
This short documentary follows Mohammed Husseini as he takes part in Tigh Zani for the first time during the Kabul Ashura 2011 procession. The film focuses on Mohammed's own deeply personal reasons for taking part, and attempts to understand the mindset he is in as he endures what is both a painful and controversial Shia Muslim tradition.
Jack Somerville studied Documentary Film & TV at the International Film School of Wales. He has worked on content for the BBC (uk) as well as Spike TV & MTV (us).
