"Salam" is a feature-length documentary about the Nobel Prize-winning Pakistani physicist, Abdus Salam. The film reveals the extraordinary life of the charismatic Abdus Salam, in all its color, vitality, and tragedy. I played a small but very significant role in bringing this film to fruition. I secured access to the most critical and controversial piece of archival footage used in the film. I needed to personally go to the source of the archive and obtain the piece of footage and the license. There have been few times in my life when I came as close to being hurt, or worse.
