Timeline
Saira Shah (born 5 October 1964) is a British author, reporter and documentary filmmaker.
She produces, writes and narrates current affairs films.
Shah was born in London and raised in Kent, England.
She was educated at Bryanston School and read Arabic and Persian at the School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London, graduating in 1986.
Her father was Idries Shah, an Indian-Afghan and half-Scottish writer of books on Sufism.
Part of his family was originally from Paghman, Afghanistan.
Her mother is half-Indian Parsi and half-English.
Shah currently lives between London and rural France with her partner, journalist and photographer Scott Goodfellow, and their son and daughter Hamish and Rosie Goodfellow.
She has also worked as a journalist for Channel 4 News, which she left in 2001.
She married and divorced (after 5 years) a Swiss reporter, whom she met in Peshawar.
Shah worked with James Miller on several projects including the films Beneath the Veil (2001), Unholy War (2001), both Channel 4 Dispatches films for the UK documentary company Hardcash productions, and Death in Gaza (2004), for their own TV company Frostbite Films.
Miller was killed in 2003.
Shah also appeared on the television programme Breakfast with Frost on 10 August 2003.
In 2004, Shah won a Current Affairs BAFTA Award for Death in Gaza and in 2005 the film won three Emmy Awards for Outstanding Cinematography For Nonfiction Programming (Single Or Multi-Camera), Outstanding Directing For Nonfiction Programming and Exceptional Merit in Nonfiction Filmmaking (Shah sharing one award as a producer and being a nominee for another as a writer).
Shah said: "Ailsa inspired me to write a novel, The Mouse-Proof Kitchen, based on her life, which was published in 2013. By then Ailsa had become our teacher, demonstrating how to live with courage, patience and joy – and proving that the essence of humanity lies far deeper than mere development."
The novel gives a vivid account of how the fictional characters Anna and her husband Tobias deal with their daughter Freya's birth and the experiences which they must undergo before fully appreciating the miracle of her life.
Shah's first trip to Afghanistan was when she was 21 years old.
She worked for 3 years in Peshawar as a reporter covering the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan.
Ailsa Goodfellow, their first daughter, died, suddenly, of a pulmonary embolism early in 2017.
