A few months ago, a documentary titled The Colour of My Heart [Rang Hai Dil Ka Mere], based on the life and work of the late Zia Mohyeddin, the legendary artist and the founder of the National Academy of Performing Arts (Napa), received rave reviews from Pakistani critics and cine-goers alike. The project, which was produced by Umar Riaz, has now been selected to be screened at the Asian American International Film Festival (July 30 to August 9) in New York. We know it took Umar R 15 years to complete the film and the result shows that hard work pays off.

Congratulations to him and his team!
