BBC Urdu Shehr Kahani: Dil Pardesi Ho Gaya

This is the first short documentary I edited, made by community people from rural Pakistan, who were trained by BBC Word Service Producers. This is the story of a woman who ran away from her home in Hyderabad, and settled in Multan, as a man. In order to work at the Public Call Office that she manages, she dresses as and passes for a boy.

You can watch this series and other projects i work on at http://www.bbc.co.uk/urdu/multimedia
