Video Proposal

The idea behind the video is to reflect the fact of utter poverty. The video has been recorded in a village (Bhit Majao Kuanv) of Balochistan and shows how poor people deal with the onerous task of grinding grain without the right implements or machine. Several other “ordinary” tasks such as storing drinking water, travelling or giving birth to a child all take on a life or death situation in this remote village. The video is aimed at raising awareness about the UN’s Millennium Development Goals and is directed at advocates who work for the cause of human rights.
