Filmed over three years the personal narratives weave between political events in Pakistan. The general elections, Malala the Pakistani girl who won the Nobel peace prize (2014) to the attack of school children in Peshawar, Lyari Notes addresses each of these events through the eyes and experiences of the principal characters to paint intensely intimate portraits of girls coming of age in a country battling with itself.A poignant and timeless journey of self-expression unfolding at a defining point in Pakistan's history and at a time Muslim extremism and attacks on expression dominate world headlines.

Film Synopsis:

In Pakistan a rock star teaches a group of girls to express themselves through music in Karachis most volatile district.

Hamza Jafri travels in an armed vehicle. He is a musician famous for his hard hitting political lyrics since the 1990s. Since then religious fundamentalism has been on the rise with shops selling music torched, concerts bombed and musicians threatened with death. Seeing the shrinking space for music and artists Hamza opens a music school.

Captured over 3 years Lyari Notes is the narrative of four young girls who attend Hamzas music school and learn what it takes to express oneself despite the cycles of violence.
