The Ground Beneath Their Feet
Description
For Pakistani girls who suffered spinal injuries in the devastating 2005 earthquake, two big questions hang over their futures. Will I ever walk again? And will I ever marry? While most Pakistani girls are destined from birth to be wives and mothers, Khalida and Ruqiya's injuries have just have opened the doors to a life less ordinary. Shot over 4 years, we follow the pair as they come of age in a country that prizes marriage above all else.
