Kingsley to Appear in Quake Documentary

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Ben Kingsley will be featured in a documentary about the devastation caused by last year's earthquake in Pakistan that flattened entire villages in the country's portion of Kashmir and surrounding areas.

The documentary by director Chip Duncan is being made in partnership with Relief International, a Los Angeles-based aid organization. Pakistan's government also supported the project.

Relief International is worried that not enough food aid is in the pipeline for survivors of the Oct. 8 quake, which killed 87,000 people and left about 3 million homeless.

Duncan said he expected the documentary would be released on U.S. public television later this year. Excerpts will be used for fundraising, he said.
