Pakistan: Defenders of Karachi

With a population of 20 million and high unemployment, the city has been\ engulfed in ethnic and political killings - gangland violence claimed \1,300 lives last year. Within this maelstrom which the state seems \largely powerless to quell, individuals are working to try to help the \victims; people like Saleem Mohammad, who risks his life driving an \ambulance (which are often targeted by gangs) and police chief Nasrullah\ Khan, who reveals that at least 100 of his officers have been killed \during the past year.
