Abdul Edhi’s kingdom is a bustling village without borders—it houses drug rehabilitation clinics, homes for the elderly, the largest ambulance service in the world, and 4,500 employees. But the heart and soul of this kingdom are the abused women and abandoned children who find an oasis in the midst of Pakistan’s unforgiving male-dominated social structure. Serenely disparaging capitalism and the tyranny of fundamentalism, the taciturn Mr. Edhi presides over an organization dedicated to his society’s most disenfranchised while refusing to be beholden to the donations offered by governments, foreigners, and business interests. This observational film offers an intimate and inspiring look at Edhi and his stalwart wife, Bilquis, at work nurturing a ragtag community of misfits and the misbegotten. Harnessing the power that comes with numbers, these women who have found asylum in Mr. Edhi’s kingdom find the support they need to stand up to entrenched patriarchy’s most destructive forces.  TW
