Hello,
I learned to tell stories by photographing the dead.
At fifteen, I survived my first suicide bombing in Quetta, Pakistan, one of many targeting my Hazara community. Years later, when a 2013 blast killed over 130 people, I grabbed a camera instead of running. One photograph went viral. That's when I stopped animating and started documenting.
I spent six years as a BBC Video Journalist covering Pakistan's most dangerous regions, then pursued a Master of Moving Image at the University of Sydney. For a decade, I've been filming Green Hell, following Hazara refugees trapped in Indonesia. My current documentary, If I Were a Prophet, tracks a former child suicide bomber's trek toward redemption through poetry.
I tell stories about people navigating impossible circumstances—genocide, displacement, extremism—and the unexpected ways they find to keep living.
I am Musa
