Report in The Express Tribune:
Shehri-CBE, a Karachi-based non-profit organisation, launched a documentary on “Sahil – the coast of Karachi” at Avari hotel on Wednesday. “We should show it to the bureaucrats and the lawmakers and maybe then they will feel they should do something,” remarked another member of the audience.
The documentary explores the effects of development and land reclamation on Karachi’s coast and the life forms associated with it. It was shot at the different settlements located along the entire 370-kilometre coastline and depicts how over the years our coastal riches have been plundered by big business and left ignored by the authorities.

Can you put the whole doc online for viewing, on a site like Vimeo, Youtube etc. As an NGO, Shehri should be able to get a free account and put up longer format videos.
