Lyari Notes

In Pakistan's Karachi, rebellion against religious fundamentalism is taking shape in different ways. Rock guitarist Hamza Jafri and his wife Nida Butt co-run the Music, Art and Drama School, a haven for children in a city where the arts are seen as "sinful". Filmmakers Maheen Zia and Miriam Chandy Menacherry follow a close-knit group of girls as they cope with their violent everyday through friendship and music. (Sheffield Doc/Fest)
