Look But Only With Love

Through in-depth interviews with the leaders shaping its financial and cultural future, Academy Award–winning documentarian Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy paints a colorful portrait of the Pakistan hidden behind the headlines.

In My Pakistan, Pakistan, a country with a rich history and a diverse population striving for a brighter future, comes to light through the emotional interviews Obaid-Chinoy conducts, colored by her own stories of her childhood in Karachi.

The founder of a microfinance bank, a Sindhi musician, a doctor treating amputees and another doctor at a children’s clinic. Each, like Obaid-Chinoy, remembers a time in which Pakistan was free of violence and full of hope, but in recent years, the encroachment of the Taliban and Sharia law, and the movement of Pakistani troops into the tribal areas have destabilized the country. Yet, each envisions a Pakistan brighter than before, one in which every citizen is empowered and employed, children across the country are educated and have opportunities to succeed, and violence and poverty are faint memories.

My Pakistan is a heart-warming profile of the unseen side of Pakistan: one of industrious entrepreneurs, a rich cultural history of words, poetry, and music, and a country desperately trying to overcome the hand it’s been dealt.

Prin interviuri aprofundate cu liderii care isi modeleaza viitorul financiar si cultural, documentaristul castigator al premiului Oscar Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy picteaza un portret colorat al Pakistanului ascuns in spatele titlurilor. In Pakistanul meu, Pakistan, o tara cu o istorie bogata si o o populatie diversa care se straduieste un viitor mai luminos, iese la iveala prin interviurile emotionale pe care le poarta Obaid-Chinoy, colorate de propriile povesti ale copilariei ei din Karachi.
