Machar Colony is a dilapidated slum in Karachi, Pakistan.
Many people are undocumented because they have not been given citizenship by the government, so many people are jobless.
Some of the little work available is in the fishing industry and consequently the area is also known as Fisherman’s Colony.
BUT coach Furqan Raja and human rights lawyer Tahera Hasan have built a Gymnastics program, not easy for girls in a Muslim nation.
The Gymnasts of Fisherman Colony is a new documentary. A joyful coming-of-age journey that proves the power of access and opportunity.
It will be shown at the Tribeca Film Festival.
