Acclaimed Pakistani filmmaker Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy is heading for the Emmys after getting the Academy Awards under her belt.
The two-time Oscar winner along with Maheen Sadiq earned a nod for the 41st Annual News and Documentary Emmy Awards for Best Feature Story in a News Magazine for their joint directorial Freedom Fighters.
Announcing the news on her Facebook, Sharmeen wrote: "Freedom Fighters is dedicated to Pakistan’s brave female fighters who are not afraid of facing adversity and are entrenched on the frontlines, to create a better tomorrow for their neighbors, community, and country.”
Freedom Fighters, produced by the SOC Films, is a part of a documentary-series encircling a group of three women breaking societal barriers and striving for equality in their country.
