On his return home, Ben started to dream of making a film about those tribal regions of Pakistan. His unstoppable determination paid off and, in disguise and with a tiny, hidden DV camera, he shot enough footage to convince a producer and the Australian Film Commission to take him on.Now that film 'Son of a Lion' is being submitted to festivals around the world. The Warrior Poets is a memoir about Ben's journeys to Pakistan and about the making of this film, for which he used locals who had never acted before, could not speak English, and who would have severely punished or worse if their involvement in the project had been discovered by the authorities.
