“The major challenge I faced was depicting the vastness and intenseness of the issue I was trying to portray within 7-minute duration. Balancing my studies of my final high school year and the yearlong making of this movie was another difficulty,” said Faisal.

However, this isn’t Faisal’s first time at The THIMUN. In the year 2015, his film Sincerely Bahadur was also nominated for as many as four categories of awards, under best picture, best story, best cinematography, and best national picture. The film discussed the conditions construction workers work and live in.
