فلمساز زمرین وحدت در ماه مارچ سال 2022 یک ورکشاپ دو روزه را با اعضای جامعۀ افغان که در منطقۀ خیرکی، در جنوب دهلی، زندگی میکنند، برگزار کرد. آنها چهار فلم کوتاه ساختند که فقط با تلفونهای همراه فلمبرداری شده اند. این فلمها"قصه های خیرکی"، پورتریها از جاده ها و ساکنین دهلی از دیدگاه جامعۀ افغان هستند. 

The visual artist and director Zamarin Wahdat was born in 1989 in the Afghan capital Kabul. At the age of two, she fled with her family to Hamburg, where she still lives today. After graduating from high school, she briefly left the Hanseatic city to study at the School of Media, Film and Music University of Sussex in Brighton. She then completed her master's degree at NYU Tisch School of the Arts in New York, and worked as a second cinematographer and translator for Carol Dysinger's Oscar-winning documentary short Learning To Skateboard In A Warzone (If You Are A Girl), shot in Afghanistan.  
In 2020, she finally won the award for "Best International Short Film" at the prestigious Sundance Film Festival with her directorial debut, the short film Bambirak.
