Alexander Volberding and Ihtesham Ismail, the team who filmed 'Kabaddi', one of the finalists of Dawn.com Deutsche Welle's video story contest, #ItHappensOnlyinPakistan on the theme #OurDiversePakistan, have been selected to work with DW Documentary to produce a 12-15 minutes long documentary film and win a prize of Rs330,000. These documentary films will be released on DW Documentary's official YouTube channel later.

Kabaddi pays homage to Pakistan's under-represented Kabaddi players and recounts a coach's journey to keep the sport alive in the country.
