MAHELIKA
“Mahelika” a short documentary tells the story of a young female prized footballer who plays for the Lyari Women’s Football Academy in Lyari, Karachi Pakistan.
Coined, “Little Brazil” Lyari is well known for its strong and skilled football players and love of the sport. However the dreams and opportunities of a female player can often be snuffed out due to societal and cultural restraints.
“Mahelika” shows us that with the support and dedication of our friends and loved ones, anyone can defy the odds.
