This research abstract explores the ideological binaries portrayed within the documentary titled "Don't Tell My Mom that I am in Pakistan" through a comprehensive semiotic analysis. The documentary delves into the multifaceted landscape of Pakistan, offering a unique perspective on the nation, its people, and their experiences. Drawing upon Charles Sanders Peirce's semiotic theory, this analysis investigates the signs, symbols, and visual elements employed in the documentary to reveal underlying ideological dichotomies. By scrutinizing the semiotic resources within the film, this research aims to unveil the intricate web of meanings that contribute to the construction of ideological binaries, shedding light on how these binaries shape perceptions and narratives. Through this semiotic lens, the study ultimately seeks to deepen our understanding of how documentaries can serve as platforms for the exploration and deconstruction of ideological dualities within complex socio-cultural contexts.
