A film by RSA Pakistan Calling, in partnership with Karachi University Visual Studies department, offers a fascinating insight into the experiences of bus drivers in Karachi, demonstrating how public servants are often disrespected by those with power and wealth. Discussions also delve into law and order, corruption, fears of sectarian violence, as well as their views on democracy and Britain.

The Royal Society of Arts & Commerce and www.thesamosa.co.uk launched RSA Pakistan Calling, Film Project to promote constructive cross-cultural dialogue between Britain and Pakistan. The films depict Pakistani civil society organisations and individuals attempting to tackle the country's many pressing social problems and the many links between Britain and Pakistan.
