Kinaare

Description

This documentary follows a fisherman, a porter, and a nursery worker as they navigate life in Karachi’s overlooked spaces, shaping a sense of belonging in places they now call home. It challenges conventional ideas of stability, identity, and home, offering a small but meaningful effort to bring visibility and dignity to lives rarely represented. By sharing their stories, the film expands how we understand belonging in a constantly shifting world.
