Democracy In Flames

“The buzz words for Pakistan are democracy, nuclear capability, fundamentalism, extremism, terrorism, and sometimes cricket”

Democracy In Flames is a journey into the heart of Pakistan's democratic process in action, and provides a timeless historical snapshot at a turning point in world history. Obama, Iran, Afghanistan, India, and even China are on the borders of a country increasingly seen as having a pivotal role in world affairs. This film follows a student from London to his hometown of Lahore, possessed with the grievances of a generation, and charged with monitoring free and fair elections.

Blueberry Director Taimur Khan premieres his most recent documentary film Democracy in Flames on July 27th at 7pm at the Frontline Club. The screening will be followed by a Q&A.
