If I don’t get the support to move forward, I will also be joining one of the Lyari gangs,” said a young footballer of Lyari in a documentary, titled ‘Hidden Diamonds of Lyari’, compiled by Ehsan Shah and Bakhtawar Imtiaz.
The documentary won the first prize at a screening of eight documentaries at the Beach Luxury hotel on Wednesday. The event, titled ‘Stories of Lyari’, was organised by ARM Child and Youth Welfare Organisation with support from the Karachi Youth Initiative (KYI).
Around 25 young film-makers of the Youth Café in Lyari identified eight stories of courage, audacity, self-esteem, positive attitude and legitimate income and told each story in a 10-minute documentary.
