Description

Directed by: Anam Abbas | 89 min | 2021 | Canada
This Stained Dawn follows the women and non-binary groups uniting to organize the Aurat March in Pakistan's city of Karachi. "My body, my choice" becomes the controversial slogan of this powerful women's march against the radical religious right.
Filmmaker Anam Abbas follows the march's organizers as they negotiate a deeply surveilled, paranoia-filled, and often physically violent space in the hopes of spurring a revolution. A philosophical work, This Stained Dawn is not just about the march, but also the act of political organizing.
