Mumbai, Nov 4 (IANS) "Made in Pakistan", a documentary that gives a glimpse into the thinking of modern day Pakistanis, was the only film from across the border which was screened in the 11th Mumbai Film Festival.

"This is a futuristic or revolutionary film that could portray where new-gen Pakistanis wish to see themselves in near future," Nasir Khan, director of the movie, told IANS in an interview.

This film seeks to find out if Pakistanis themselves care to live in peace and if they are able to decide the direction of their own future. It shows how four independent characters of the movie are taking their strides to fulfil their dreams unbound by their customs.

"I made this film to show Pakistan through the eyes of Pakistanis," he said.

Asked if they faced any hazards while shooting the film, producer Adil Sher said: "There wasn't any political intervention, though we had to face problem in arranging for the funds and finally we had to land up in self-finance."

The film is about the new-gen Pakistanis, who account for around 40 percent of the population and who have no medium available to express it.

"Youths in Pakistan think the same way one thinks in India or other parts of the wold, but they hardly get a chance to exploit their liberty. I took the initiative, you can say," said Khan.

"Made in Pakistan" even showcases the stiking contrast between one's belief about Muslim girls and their reality through the characters Tara and Rabia -- the former is an actor and event manager and latter is a Chief editor of a monthly English magazine.

"These characters were very important because I wanted to show the world that the girls are not a commodity in Pakistan and they are also making a good life there," said Adil Sher.
