Without Sheperds

A rare and essential glimpse into six brave lives trapped in the turbulent waters of Pakistan today. In the midst of the first national election in ten years, each of our characters takes their first steps in bold new directions of their own: Most notably Imran Kahn, former cricket star and heartthrob – leaves the cricket pitch for politics, hoping that his sports stardom can build a new coalition of young, energetic and principled voices; a female journalist working behind Taliban lines; an ex-mujahid seeking redemption; a trucker crossing dangerous territory to feed his family; a supermodel pushing feminism through fashion; and a subversive Sufi rocker using music to heal. Filmed by a team of American and Pakistani filmmakers over two years, WITHOUT SHEPHERDS cuts through alarmist media depictions of the country to celebrate the bravery of its people.
