U.K. indie Chief Productions is producing the Kashmiri beekeeping documentary Pot of Gold<\/em> in partnership with global humanitarian relief and development charity Human Appeal.<\/p>\n

The doc, the first fully foreign film shot in the mountainous region of Pakistan\u2019s Azad Kashmir, follows beekeeper Shakeel Khan, who has committed his life to learning about the nature of bees. His lifetime of work becomes a lifeline for the most vulnerable members of his community after the most destructive earthquake in the region\u2019s history.<\/p>\n

Khan and his fellow beekeepers find themselves stranded in the midst of environmental chaos again when Pakistan experiences its worst monsoon in decades. The impact of the disaster highlights the vulnerability of remote communities and the unjust nature of climate change impact.<\/p>\n

The film is inspired by Human Appeal\u2019s project to expand beekeeping in the remote area and reinstate the region\u2019s biodiversity.<\/p>\n

Pot of Gold<\/em> will be presented at domestic and international film festivals, where it will be marketed for distribution. It is authored by Billy Offland and directed by Olivier Richomme. Colin Offland serves as executive producer, and Alan Hamilton is writer.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt isn\u2019t often that you come across such a poignant and distinctive story as this one,\u201d said Colin Offland, CEO and executive producer at Chief Productions. \u201cHuman Appeal\u2019s project in Kashmir has been revelatory, particularly in highlighting the delicate ecosystems of the natural world and the importance of locally-driven sustainable projects like these when facing an ongoing climate crisis. It has been an eye-opening and fulfilling experience to be welcomed as the first fully foreign production team in Kashmir, and we\u2019re grateful for the team at Human Appeal for allowing us to bring this story to the screen.\u201d<\/p>\n

Owais Khan, deputy CEO of Human Appeal, added, \u201cCommitting this project to film, which seeks not only to reinstate this region’s biodiversity but also to give local communities a sustainable livelihood, is truly an amazing story. As is the fact this initiative has transformed the lives of the local community enabling farmers to sell over \u00a31 million pounds worth of honey since the start of the initiative some nine years ago. Chief have been tremendous in applying their knowledge and craft to bringing Pot of Gold together and what we have seen so far is heart-stirring and a compelling narrative of the human relationship with nature.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
