Journalism Jahangir has reported on politics in Pakistan and has been vocal about the struggles of female journalists in Pakistan, and co-founded South-Asian Women in Media (SAWM) to address this issue.
Filmmaking In 2003, Jahangir produced and directed a
feature length documentary about the lives of four
Afghan women from the 1920s to the present day, throughout the turbulent history of Afghanistan. This documentary, called "
Search for Freedom" was selected as one out of sixteen films screened by
Amnesty International at their USA film festivals. Jahangir co-produced a documentary on the street children of
Lahore, which was then aired in community centres across Pakistan. Jahangir was a research assistant and
camera-person in the making of a documentary about women who were victims of
Acid attacks. This documentary was aired on Indus Media Group Television in
Dubai, UAE. Jahangir worked with Pakistani director,
Samina Peerzada, to make Peerzada's
sophomore directorial project
Shararat (2003). This was a
romantic comedy, released in 2003, with a less-than-successful reception at the Pakistani box office. However, songs from the soundtrack composed by the film's music director
Wajahat Attre were mega-hits in the country. Songs such as
Jugnuon Sey Bhar Ley Aanchal, performed by
Ali Zafar and
Shabnam Majeed, with lyrics by Aqeel Ruby. ==Human rights advocacy==
