The World Unseen is about integrity, about finding your strength, about passion. I’ve been incredibly fortunate to work with my producer, Hanan Kattan, and Executive Producers Katherine Priestley and Lisa Tchenguiz-Imerman, who all embody those qualities themselves. It made the making of this film as smooth a process as it ever can be.

The events of the story are set in a very specific time and place – South Africa, in the 1950s, within the subtle hierarchies of the Indian community – but the tribulations and triumphs of its characters are universal. All of us have fallen in love; we have all experienced injustice of a sort, whether within political systems or within our own families; we have all understood integrity and aspired to it.
