Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy Presents New Documentary Series Unveiling Climate Change in Pakistan
Acclaimed filmmaker Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy is set to unveil her latest creation, a captivating documentary series titled “Champions of Climate Change: Voices for a Greener Pakistan.”
This groundbreaking four-part series serves as a powerful platform to amplify the voices of courageous Pakistanis who are fearlessly addressing one of the most critical challenges of our time, while simultaneously inspiring a global movement for climate action. In collaboration with Idara-e-Taleem-o-Aagahi and the U.S. Consulate General Karachi, the series is scheduled for release on June 21st, coinciding with the internationally recognized Show Your Stripes Day—a significant initiative aimed at raising awareness about the urgent need for collective efforts to combat climate change.
Each installment of the documentary series focuses on a distinct aspect of climate change and environmental conservation, highlighting stories of resilience, innovation, and tangible impact. Audiences will be introduced to four exceptional individuals who are making a substantial difference in Pakistan: Usman Iqbal from Karachi, Sindh; Wajiha Siddiqui Mehdi from Jacobabad, Sindh; Hatim Baloch from Panjgur, Balochistan; and Yahya Musakhel from Zhob, Balochistan.
The series is divided into four compelling segments, each delving into a specific theme: “Hamara Rishta Samandar Se” (Our Bond with the Sea), “Hangami Halaat” (A State of Emergency), “Aik Sath Mil Ke Ba Ikhtiyar” (Together We Have Power), and “Chotay Iqdam, Baray Asraat” (Small Things Make a Big Difference).
SOC Films, a pioneering production house in Pakistan, proudly announced the upcoming release of the series on their official Instagram account.
Through this innovative documentary series, Obaid-Chinoy aims to shed light on the remarkable efforts being undertaken within Pakistan to combat climate change. By sharing stories of resilience and inspiring actions, the series seeks to empower viewers to actively engage in environmental protection and contribute to a greener future for Pakistan.
