Never Stand Down: A Docu-Series Ii: The Quraishi Family

NEVER STAND DOWN Presented by The Asian Pride Project A docu-series II: The Quraishi Family Come and join The Asian Pride Project for a special and intimate evening at The People's Forum for a film screening showcasing the Quraishi family. This warm and thought-provoking film offers a lens into the Asian familial ways of love and acceptance. For Indian Pakistani American Khalid Quraishi, his daughter Zunaira’s announcement that she was ready to marry the woman of her dreams was a joyous, even miraculous, occasion. Having lived through the Partition, persecution, and the harrowing threat of nearly losing Zunaira to cancer, Khalid never once doubted what his Muslim faith had taught him to believe was most important of all: his love for his family. We will get the chance to meet and speak with Mr. Khalid Quraishi and Zunaira Khalid, as well as several members of the filmmaking team over a panel conversation; and all attendees are invited to our Community Reception for a delicious dinner, amazing company, and live music by DJ Tikka Masala! Due to venue contraints, seats are limited and tickets are sold on first come first serve basis! Don't miss out on this opportunity to connect with the community and show your support for LGBTQ+ Asian representation in media. See you there!
