    Very Well Made!
    I had the pleasure of watching Without Shepherds in it's entirety at a screening at UCLA. The crew did a great job in selecting the different characters that were portrayed throughout the movie. It definitely gave the audience an inside perspective on Pakistanis. It shows how these people are just people, not labels which the international media would have you assume them to be. Rather, everyday normal individuals doing what they can to work through their challenges for a better life and a better Pakistan.

    If I am to be picky though, the only thing I didn't understand was why the film makers didn't make an effort to show the beauty of the country. Although, this was a documentary focusing on specific characters I see a pattern in almost all films made about Pakistan or technically "in Pakistan." Time and time again film makers fail to show the more beautiful areas and communities of the country which paints a dreary image about the Pakistani environment for a viewer that hasn't visited country.

    Overall, this film is definitely worth watching. I hope we get to see it on the big screen sometime soon. Until then I would encourage you to find out where you can watch it for yourself.
