For too long, we have overlooked the woman who defied convention and stood at the forefront of Pakistan’s struggle for freedom. It is time to rewrite the narrative, for Fatima Jinnah was not just a sister; she was a force, an inspiration, and a pioneer in a story that celebrates the indomitable spirit of women in the quest for Pakistan’s sovereignty. Her story goes far beyond the confines of traditional roles assigned to women during that era, revealing a spirit that dared to challenge expectations and carve out a unique path.

Fatima Jinnah unfolds in three seasons, split into volumes one and two, with each volume having ten episodes. Season 1, Volume 1, tells the historical story from 1910 to the Lucknow Pact. It vividly portrays significant events and deep emotions that shape an era’s identity. As Volume 1 concludes, we witness Fatima Jinnah leaving the Jinnah House, making way for Ruttie Jinnah to take centre stage-an essential moment setting the stage for future chapters. In Volume 2, a new story begins. It follows Fatima’s journey into dental college, weaving through history until a crucial moment: Jinnah’s departure from the Muslim League and his journey to England. During Season 1, spanning from 1910 to 1929, the narrative will unravel a story marked by transformation, challenges and crucial decisions.
