A story of a girl who lost both her parents in a sectarian bomb blast. Footprints, is her journey, her quest for answers - that takes her across Pakistan, from Karachi into the Northern Tribal belt straddling Afghanistan and Iran. Tracing the roots of religious intolerance and extremism in the country. This film is a case study, an insight into the utter chaos wars leave in their aftermath. Where a peaceful, progressive society is systematically turned into a national security State with an ultra conservative narrative gaining strength. The biggest victims, as always, remain the people.
