Author(s): GILMOUR Benjamin

Literature

Australian Benjamin Gilmour travelled to Pakistan determined to shoot a film on its wild frontier. He had never made a movie before and it was illegal and extremely dangerous for him to do so in the region. But Benjamin was driven by his passion for the Pashtun people of the North West Frontier Province and for the remarkable gun-making town of Darra Adam Khel. This book is the behind-the-scenes account of the highly acclaimed film, Son of a Lion, but it is much more than just a 'making-of'. Benjamin tells the compelling story of a country with an amazing and rich culture, and of the proud and loyal people who befriended him.
