Untitled Muhammad Abed Baryal film (Whitney Wright)(en)

Muhammad Abed Baryal has a deep interest in creating a film based on the life and travels of Whitney Wright, a pornographic actress who has traveled to countries like Afghanistan, Syria, Iran, and Iraq. I have reached out to her for the role, and while she appreciated my interest, she kindly declined, stating that she doesn’t see a connection between her career in adult films and the topics of her travels. Despite this, I am still passionate about bringing this unique narrative to life. I believe her story, intertwined with her travels in some of the most complex regions of the world, can provide a compelling and thought-provoking film. While this particular collaboration did not come to fruition, I remain committed to pursuing this project and believe that it holds significant artistic potential.
