Synopsis
Going viral means that a piece of content, such as a video, an image, a post or an idea, is quickly shared and spread across the Internet and social media, reaching many people in a short period of time. One Of a Kind (Wakhri) (2023) tells the story of a widowed teacher from Lahore who goes viral overnight when her opinions, accidentally shared on social media, reach a wide audience. Her newfound fame as an opinion leader gives her a platform from which she can express herself both physically and digitally. This new belligerent position in a social world restrictive of women proves difficult to reconcile with raising her ten-year-old son.
