Omar is a young runaway in Karachi, Pakistan, whose life hangs on one critical question: what is home? Is it in the city streets where he's made his life, in a home for runaways run by humanitarian Abdul Sattar Edhi, often called 'the Mother Teresa of Pakistan', or in the difficult rural family life he has been trying to flee? THESE BIRDS WALK is both heart-wrenching and life-affirming, documenting the struggles of Omar and these wayward children and the good Samaritans looking out for them in a poetic story of resilience.

Emotional, moving, and Heart Wrenching
It was the preview of the film that caught my attention. This movie inspired a lot of empathy on my part for these lost boys in Pakistan. The boys grow up in a world that is so different than mine. It was so hard to see them cry and long for home. I loved the immediate message in the beginning of the movie by the man who started the orphanage. He says that he is an ordinary man who came from ordinary people and if you want to find him look among them. He helps these boys out of the kindness of his heart, wanting nothing in return. I loved this documentary. In the end I was left irrevocably moved. It made me want to be a better person in general. One person can make a huge difference in someone's life.

Its a beautifully shot film though
Some of the scenes are staged and that takes away from the honesty of the film. Its a beautifully shot film though.

Highly recommended.
This documentary gives viewers and extraordinary look inside Pakistan's runaway youth and their struggles in determining what is right, wrong, and their belief in God. This is one of the many important layers of Pakistan that we do not get to see often. Highly recommended.
