Protecting Islamabad – a city under siege
Pakistan’s capital used to be an ordered and peaceful place. These days it has begun to resemble a city under siege. In this film we spend a year in Islamabad. We follow the local police force as they grapple with a real and ever growing terrorist threat. At the same time we meet some of the Pakistani citizens whose lives have been torn apart by terrorism in the city. With the type of access that is very, very difficult to achieve in the current Pakistani environment, the filmmakers have been allowed to follow the police force over the period of an entire year. At the same time they have also met with some of the young Pakistani citizens affected by the attacks the police are investigating as they attempt to put their lives back together.
