A big Brightwide welcome to Fatima Bhutto, our number one fan and contributor, who joined us in the office today to discuss a world of opportunities for
the future …

Fatima arrived from Pakistan in London today to brainstorm her role with us. From foreign correspondent to Global Brightwide Ambassador Supreme (well, ok, the job title may need some work) all avenues are open. With news of international film and literary festivals, plans for her forthcoming book (more on that in the coming months) and endless enthusiasm for the Brightwide vision, Fatima galvanized and energised us.

Over the coming months Fatima will help us to create the space for talented, young and politically astute commentators from around the world, to review and comment on Brightwide’s films and the issues and themes at their heart, sparking debate among our online community.

And we hope that in time, Fatima will attend some of the more far-flung Asian and south-east Asian film festivals on our behalf;
helping us to build a truly international and cutting edge online library of the very best of social and political cinema.

If you haven’t yet read Fatima’s wonderful review of the film Under The Bombs, then why not read it exclusively on Brightwide now, and
don’t forget you can watch the film online for free for a limited time only. All you need to do is sign up here. And with more contributions
from Fatima to come, make sure you drop back in regularly so as not to miss out…
