Naseeruddin Shah joins Afghan refugee documentary ‘Far from Home’ as Executive Producer

Veteran actor Naseeruddin Shah has come on board as the executive producer of Far from Home, a short documentary highlighting the struggles and resilience of Afghan refugees living in India.

This marks the first time the acclaimed actor has taken on the role of an executive producer for a documentary film. The project aims to shed light on the often-overlooked challenges faced by displaced Afghan communities as they rebuild their lives in a new land.

In a statement, Shah said documentaries hold greater value for posterity than feature films, emphasizing their role in preserving truth and offering deeper insight into pressing social realities.

Far from Home has been described by the filmmakers as a moving portrayal of hope, identity, and survival amid displacement. The documentary is expected to make its festival circuit debut soon before a wider digital release.

By associating with the film, Shah continues his long-standing engagement with meaningful cinema and socially conscious storytelling.
