• Queer Muslim graduate student Azra, returns to her native Pakistan after her father’s unexpected passing reconnecting with her strictly religious mother, Miriam. Despite the distance and ideological divide that have driven them apart, Azra and Miriam forge a new bond at the intersection of East and West. Evoking the vibrant spirit of Bollywood, The Queen Of My Dreams is a luminous dramedy about the complicated mother-daughter relationship. In her feature directorial debut, writer-director Fawzia Mirza crafts a semi-autobiographical triumph

After the screening there will be time to discuss the film and surrounding issues. The screening aims to be a place of support and belonging for People of Colour and a place where white allies can take responsibility for their own learning. We hope to raise searching questions and explore issues in a supportive environment. It’s OK to make mistakes but please own your mistakes.
