Two films usable in class, about Pakistan / India

Both are by Sabiha Sumar -- one is a documentary that was screened on PBS -- available on Youtube in seven instalments, Dinner with the President

The second is a very moving and teachable feature film -- a collaboration between a Pakistani-Canadian (Sumar) and an Indian filmmaker (Vora), on Partition and its continuing ripples in contemporary South Asia, and in particular on how women were caught in the middle.
It's called Silent Waters (Khamosh Pani)
