Summary:

An ethnographic/ethnomusicological exploration of ritual, symbolism and devotion amongst the Shi'a religious minority community in Pakistan. The film is entirely told, without narration, through the actual participants of the annual Ashura mourning processions. 10 Days captures the raw energy of this controversial event which is rarely understood by outsiders. The film was selected for screening at a number of international film festivals. 10 Days is a serious and sympathetic exploration of religious ritual and cultural symbolism, introducing a new genre of devotional music known as 'qaseedas' and 'nuhas', performed by one of Pakistan's best known -- and loved -- zakirs, Sayyed Shafqat Mohsan, to an international audience for the first time.
