Join us for a special screening of The Journey Within, followed by a conversation with writer, director, and producer Mian Adnan Ahmad and associate producer JC Diaz. Set in post-9/11 Pakistan, this acclaimed documentary traces the inspiring evolution of Coke Studio, one of the region’s most influential music initiatives.

Beginning with the artists’ humble origins, the film follows them as they bring together folk, Sufi, rock, pop, and rap, bridging Eastern and Western traditions to create music that resonates across borders. In doing so, they reclaim and celebrate Pakistan’s rich cultural heritage, while challenging stereotypes and asking deeper questions about identity, belonging, and the unifying power of sound.
