Sez someone who isn't me....

A Texastani friend of mine travelled to Pakistan in 1999 and instantly fell in love with our country: the food, the scenery, the buses and especially our people and their sense of hospitality and honour. After 911 he was a witness to the media's misrepresentation of muslims in general and Pakistanis in particular.

While people like me were continously complaining about the media bias, this guy decided to actually do something about it. So with very few resources (a couple of hundred dollars and a camera) and a lot of hope and faith, he travelled back to Pakistan in 2004 with another friend of mine. The documentary linked below is a result of his efforts. Even though this was his first documentary, it still made it to the Sundance fim festival for consideration.

The documentary has 15 parts of roughly 5-8 mins each to ensure easy loading for those with slow connections. The ending (Part 15) is particularly touching and very relevant for every decent person on earth. I have a few requests for all those who read this post

1) Please view all the parts (1-15) in one go. Its around an hour and a half of interesting viewing and some outstanding music

2) Whether you like the parts or not, please give some honest feedback (and rating) both here and on youtube regarding every part, so he can fine tune the documentary for another festival. Constructive critisicm is not just welcome...it is required.

3) Lastly, and most importantly, if you cannot give feedback regarding the different parts then atleast forward the link to as many pakistanis as you can. Encourage them to give feedback as well.
