Zayan Agha

With a natural predisposition towards telling stories of the fundamental truth that we are a part of an enduring community, Zayan Agha is a Filmmaker from Lahore, who grew up as the city rapidly urbanized. He worked with the British High Commission & Ministry of Law & Justice of Pakistan to create mini web-series “BeGunah’’ on child sexual abuse and child justice, which was quoted among the world best practices for the protection of children in detention by the World Organization Against Torture. His documentary film ‘’The Fifth Season’’ shows Lahore's environmental decline as smog engulfs the city of gardens. Zayan uses filmmaking as a tool to protest against abuse of environment. He is focused on directing stories that depict human interventions in the environment and its implications on the vulnerable community, especially children. In 2022, Zayan's work was featured in Forbes.
