The Broken Goals of Lyari, Karachi, Pakistan

(Documentary)

In the heart of Karachi, Lyari is a place full of life and dreams. Yet, despite its vibrant community and passionate football players, Lyari football often goes unnoticed.

This video explores the sad reality that while football is a vital part of Lyari’s culture, it rarely gets the recognition it deserves. The players, who show incredible talent and dedication, struggle to attract the attention of the wider world. Their dreams and hard work seem to fade into the background.

Through this video, I am trying to shine a light on the untold stories of Lyari’s footballers, hoping to give their dreams the recognition they so deeply deserve.
