Fawzia Mirza and Amrit Kaur on The Queen of My Dreams: People want to hear more queer Muslim stories'
Briefly

"I found this community that I didn't even know existed. My voice mattered. People were like, We want to hear more queer Muslim stories.' And I hadn't gotten that validation or acceptance anywhere else yet."
"That celebration of our capacity to be many things at once is present in Mirza's new film, a semi-autobiographical story about a second-generation immigrant reuniting with family in Karachi."
"Stories that centre Muslim women always focus on trauma - I want to capture the love, joy, comedy, humour' Fawzia Mirza."
