Product Overview

Punjabi Love Story is an observational documentary, suitable for secondary students, filmed over eighteen months between 2002 and 2003 that tells the story of an Australian woman (Jocelyn Ortt-Saeed) married to a Pakistani man (Mohammed Saeed) and living in the Punjab region of Pakistan. For many years the couple lives in the Husain Sugar Mill in a guarded compound where Mohammed is general manager. This documentary captures the lives and loves of this household against a backdrop of deep-rooted political change in Pakistan under the presidency of pro-American military chief, General Musharraf.
