This stained dawn
Synopsis:
Karachi’s feminists organise a woman’s march, coming up against Pakistan’s radical religious right, and negotiating a deeply surveilled, paranoia-inducing, and often physically violent space in the hopes of a revolution.
A philosophical work, This Stained Dawn is not just about the march, but about the act of political organising itself.
