The news about Pakistan in the international media is most often about religion, politics or oppression. negative, gloomy, stereotypical or at best a constant struggle that the people of Pakistan seem to be facing daily.

Another kind of news also exists

Gentler, real and immediate, simple in its approach and positive in its message.

Few people see it. even fewer capture it on film for the world to see.

This short documentary showcases the promise of Pakistan’s most ordinary and sincere citizens, their hopes, their efforts and their achievements.
