MUKAND AND RIAZ
story and pictures  
Nina Sabnani

The story is set against the background of the partition of India and Pakistan in 1947. But friendship between children knows no barbed wire fencing: all children play games, enjoy ice-cream and feel the loss of friends.
          Based on the memories of her father, animator Nina Sabnani made this film for the Big Small People Project, Israel, using the art of women's appliqué work, common to both Sindh in Pakistan and Gujarat in India, to provide a rich and textured visual experience. The film won a certificate of merit from the Tokyo Broadcasting System, Japan. Mukand and Riaz is essentially about every child's right to friendship and a home. Through shared memories, shared craft and shared histories, it offers deeply moving layers of meaning with which to identify and from which to draw strength.

From a mother...
Leila (my seven year-old daughter) took your book into school today and the teacher read it to the class. Apparently the teacher half way through, said, "Oh I think I want to cry...and at the end, she asked children who felt the same way to put up their hands. Five girlies put up their hands...Leila told me today that her teacher has asked if she can bring the book back (she brought it home) so the school can order some copies!...It really is an important book/film Nina – you have broken a personal story against the back of a very big story (partition) in an incredibly skilled way."
