A Documentary Starring Imran Khan - Without Shepherds

Just_one

Banned

Imran Khan is always the positive imagine of Pakistan and the world recognizes this. this can't be said about ANY other "leader".

In the wake of Benazir Bhuttos assassination as violent attacks ripple throughout Pakistan and tensions escalate with the West, WITHOUT SHEPHERDS offers a rare glimpse into real life in the shadow of the war on terror.

From the streets of Karachi to the Afghan border, the film crosscuts between six people wrestling with a country in turmoil and defiantly standing for change: a cricket star building a new political party, a trucker crossing dangerous territory to feed his family, a supermodel pushing feminism through fashion, a subversive Sufi rocker using music to heal, a female journalist working behind Taliban lines, and an ex-mujahid seeking redemption.

Together their stories give context to a crisis that has dangerous consequences for the region and the world and unveil the progressive face of this misunderstood country.

It's a story of six Pakistanis from different walks of life, from famous to ordinary.

Don't call a woman such words.

You both lost the message!
Rigidity is not the way of Islam and before you can provide the right environment for the people of the country you can not force them to accept the hard choices.
Have a heart!

Without Shepherds, an upcoming film is set to bring a positive image of Pakistani. PHOTO: PR

KARACHI: The trailer for the documentary film Without Shepherds takes its viewers on a journey through Pakistan via its characters to project a completely different image of Pakistan. US director Cary McClelland shares more about his latest venture.
How were the six individuals picked for the film? What was the process behind it?
The search for our subjects was an organic process. We designed the film in collaboration with some very talented Pakistani filmmakers and journalists, and together, we shared back and forth the various types of people and places we wanted to explore. After that, we started traveling at first just to get exposure to the country, different regions, different kinds of people, different aspects of the culture.
How long did the process of shooting in Pakistan take?
We started filming just before the election in February 2008. The idea was that the country, through the election, faced an opportunity to define itself, its future, and its priorities. We wanted to show how people personally were facing those questions and what they hoped to change in their own lives and communities. Our focus all along was on what was happening away from the headlines.
Do you feel the film may not be as up to date since ground realities shift very quickly in Pakistan?
During the year we filmed, Musharraf resigned, Zardari stepped into the presidency, Bush stepped down and Obama took his place, and these two new leaders faced their first test with the crisis in Swat. A lot has happened since then, but the fundamentals are essentially the same the same leaders, the same obstacles, the same dynamics, and the same policies. So this film is still deeply relevant and current; in fact, it has never been more necessary.
What are your plans for releasing the film?
We have a lot of early interest from American and international distributors, but we need to finish the film first. Certainly, there are expectations to do a wide release in Pakistan, including grassroots screenings to ensure the film reaches everyone who is interested.
How was the process of filming in Pakistan?
I really had only the warmest response from everyone we encountered directly through the film. Anyone we contacted to participate in the film welcomed us openly, even if they had serious reservations about the project. There was a lot of very natural suspicion people had for an American filmmaker. Even those who werent comfortable, first welcomed us into their home, offered us tea or a meal, and heard us out fully before saying no. Any problems we encountered happened as a matter of misunderstanding with people who had no relationship to the film or its participants.
What sort of audience are you hoping to attract with the film?
We are targeting the widest audience possible, and have very ambitious expectations for its distribution. Anyone who likes international cinema and documentaries in particular should find this an engaging and dynamic film.
How far do you think efforts like Without Shepherds can go in countering the stereotypes associated with Pakistan?
I think the arts have a vital role to play in politics. They shape the way we see the world more profoundly. Without Shepherds has a strong agenda, not just towards extremism in the East but in the West as well.
The whole project grew out of our unease with the fear-based image of Pakistan that was building in media outlets at home. Our hope is to inject some real empathy, humanity, and hope into the way Pakistan is seen in the world at large and to open peoples eyes. From that, we believe changes in policy and political action is inevitable.

Do you know why Allah will call out the names of the children by their mothers name on the day of the judgment? Abh bhi wakat hai.

Jee kiyun nahin, aap ko pata hai ahadeeth mien aisi fitna paida karney waali auraton key liye kaisey kaisey alqaab aaye hain? Bazari se bhi ziyada sakht.if you dont know look up. Allah has even forbidden the fragnance of jannah for such women. Aur jahanmi se ziyada aur bura alfaaz kissi key liye kon sa hai
and a model is nothing more than a bazari, because she uses her body and looks for money. How would you describe such women ?!?
And did you know that this hadeeth is not sahih what you mentioned, infact children will be called by their fathers name on yom ul qiyamah because Allah the All-Knowing has knowledge of everything. Please check up your information before spreading it.

Unfortunately there are few people and for them everyone who does not agree with their ideology is non Muslim. And hold on he is also going to include you into that group for questioning him.

Thanks for the understanding. But frankly I do not worry a lot about what people say or can do to me. I know that other than Allah no one has the power to do any good to me, so let them say what ever they want to. I will not loose any happiness over the fact. They are answerable for their actions and words and I am for mine.
