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.
