Democracy In Flames

Democracy In Flames is a journey into the heart of Pakistans latest attempt at the democratic process, and provides a timeless historical snapshot at a turning point in world history. The film follows a fiery young old school socialist PhD student from London, to his hometown of Lahore. Possessed with the grievances of a generation, Taimur Rehman is a modern day Che Guevara in one of the most volatile places in the world.
This observational documentary, filmed by director Taimur Khan, is a unique window into the murky world of Pakistani politics at a grass-roots level. Pakistan has never been seen like this before. In the course of filming there is an unexpected twist in the narrative. Taimur Rehman turns a famous political poem into a song which is a huge hit on TH-cam. He is suddenly transformed into a protest pop star "LAAL" playing to tens of thousands of fans. They are the hidden constituency in Pakistan that dont fall into the clichaic religious and pseudo democratic models that usually pervade analysis in the media. Maybe in the future there will be more buzz words for Pakistan poetry, films, music, and justice. The disturbing alternative will be Talibanistan.
This film takes us into new territory, revealing the true dynamics and structure of a
society desperately trying to re-invent itself in a region of utter turmoil. The nature of that re-invention will affect us all and this makes Democracy in Flames essential and
compelling viewing for an international audience.
