Colonial-era family laws continue to shape the lives of many Christian women in Pakistan. For some, outdated legal provisions have turned marriage into a lifelong sentence with limited legal options. Lok Sujag's special documentary explores the human stories behind Christian family laws and the calls for long-awaited legal reform.

This documentary is about Pakistan's largest freshwater lake, Manchar, which is now a shadow of its former self. Once thriving with hundreds of boats and generations of indigenous fisherfolk, toxic pollutants from a development project RBOD have turned the water dirty, forcing most of the fishing community to migrate, leaving only a few families struggling to survive.

Raqba (رقبہ) - The Promised Land tells the story of tenant farmers from Punjab who refuse to disappear from their lands under arbitrary state orders. For decades, they have cultivated land that now lies at the centre of a corporate takeover driven by corporate farming. Authorities are moving to evict them from fields shaped by generations of labour. Farmers have faced assaults, arrests, and intimidation, yet they continue to stand their ground. They believe land belongs to those who nurture it through labour. With thousands of acres allocated to the Green Pakistan Initiative, the state is denying ownership of land to these farmers to make way for corporations and profit. The farmers’ response is simple: “We will die resisting, but we will not give up.”

Episode 6 of Lok Sujag’s documentary series Stolen Verdicts, “The Story of the 1985 Non-Party Elections,” explores an electoral process whose effects are still influencing the country’s political system today.
