And also the execution of Daniel Pearl, the Wall Street Journal correspondent from Pakistan in 2002.

The festival will run from 7th September 2017- 17th September 2017.
The Toronto International Film Festival often displays how the Hollywood awards are brought in shape. This time it’s the same as the previous ones. There will be a showcase of 45 films and 12 have been directed by the women, which brings the attention of the festival’s artistic director, Cameron Bailey to New York times saying our film industry is now keen to acknowledge the women, who were seen behind the camera doing writing and producing. The festival will be opened by Lady Bird, marking the directorial debut of Greta Gerwig and closes with Amr Salama’s Sheikh Jackson.
