Description: Scottish Actor Atta Yaqub, star of Ken Loach's controversial film Ae Fond Kiss, goes on a journey to discover the cosmopolitan city of Karachi in Pakistan. Immersing himself in the glamorous world of supermodels and slick TV shows, he finds his misconceptions about the country his parents came from challenged and his opinions changed. Arriving in the country for the first time in 20 years, Atta gets himself into a press conference for the Lux Style Awards -- Pakistan's equivalent of the Oscars. Befriending A list stars, he finds a country in the grip of a television boom. At one of the myriad satellite stations broadcasting a diet of music, fashion, and drama he sees how television is influencing the aspirations of modern urbanites. To get in on the act, he tries out for a part in a top drama, but in a toe curling audition, finds his Urdu is not up to scratch. He meets some young men obsessed with modifying sports cars and asks they think of the more traditional art form of truck modification. Culture, they say, is not interesting for them. Dazzled by the highly skilled workmanship that goes into truck decoration, Atta begins to suspect that modern Pakistan is out of touch with its own traditions. To investigate further, he tries his hand at modelling. Eager to find out exactly how far girls will go when it comes to flesh content, he meets the country's top models. However, even the most modern Pakistanis, it seems, are not willing to bear flesh. Being modern he learns, does not mean being western. |

Why must Pakistani women bleach their hair - and it bloody well turns out the colour, shit red. Why are Pakistanu men so effiminate. I think Pakistanis should decide if they are secular or not. If secular they should re-join with India and enjoy its success. If not then throw out these rich - white-wanna-be parasites and let Pakistan follow its own islamic course. __________________________________________________ | |

The western countries are not soo stupid, ALL their advanced military technology is invented & manufactured only in the west. Please don't get me wrong, I believe ther is much wrong with the west, but don't ever think they are all stupid! __________________________________________________ | |

| aniketn ::: Favorites 2007-12-21 15:10:38 The west is slowly but surely succumbing to its own idea of capital markets. for the last two centuries they manufactured and exploited our markets. Now its going the other way round! So dont care about them guys. Whether from india or Pakistan , focus on MANUFACTURING and u'll make the west ur slave. Last year 800 million Dollars of jobs were outsourced to India. So dont care a shit about the west ! Once the south east asia region progresses, those guys wont know what hit them! __________________________________________________ | |
| aniketn ::: Favorites 2007-12-21 15:07:23 What the female model says is true. British and Americans think that countries like India and Pakistan live in stone ages. What they cant realize and perhaps wont be able to digest is ALL electronics and technology they use is manufactured in Asian countries. Chips and computers in China and Taiwan. Software, Textiles India. Raw materials clothes designer wear from India and Pakistan. __________________________________________________ | |
