As a competent researcher and writer, Javed Jabbar appears to have taken it upon himself to reveal some previously unknown facts about the 1971 crisis that resulted in the partition of Pakistan into East and West.
His upcoming documentary, ‘Separation of East Pakistan: The Untold Story,’ will be released on December 16 and will attempt to offer accurate facts and piece together the actual events that led to Bangladesh’s formation.
It has been narrated by renowned national and international experts who will provide an objective perspective on the incident while also disclosing previously unreleased material. The film also promises a current perspective on the events of 1971, analysing perspectives and narratives through the lens of facts and reputable references while avoiding politically biassed or emotive interpretations. In terms of audience, the documentary is aimed towards people who are just vaguely familiar with East Pakistan’s partition.
