the rich ppl in Pakistan should be put on trial bring the criminals to the courts and put them in jail.

[MEERZAIDI]

This is a good documentary for a good cause, the conservation of Karachi coast. However, the areas where Urdu is spoken, English translation should appear for non-Urdu literate audience.

The video is brilliant. I wish every Pakistani was aware of what is happening with the very few natural places left to them, whether the mangroves, the beaches or the almost extinct riverine forests.

For a poor country, the beaches are one of the very few recreational activities available - and this video tells a damning story of taking what should be publicly accessible land and building exclusive enclaves on them.
