Dubai: Pakistani filmmaker Jawad Sharif has made history as his film Moklani: The Last Mohanas clinched the country’s first-ever award at the prestigious Jackson Wild Media Awards, one of the world’s most respected platforms celebrating excellence in environmental and wildlife storytelling.
The film won in the Global Voices Category, triumphing over more than 500 international submissions. The award was announced during the Jackson Wild Awards Gala in the United States, where over 200 global judges reviewed 1,000 hours of media before selecting the winners, according to Dawn.
Directed and produced by Jawad Sharif, the film offers a deeply moving portrayal of the Mohana community of Manchar Lake in Sindh — one of Pakistan’s oldest indigenous fisherfolk societies.
Living for centuries on wooden boathouses, the Mohanas now face a devastating crisis as pollution, shrinking waters and climate change threaten to erase their cultural and ecological heritage.
