Between the rocky outskirts of Karachi, and the dregs of a long-polluted sea rests the village of Rehri Goth, an indigenous community with generations of fishermen to their name. Once a glorious pathway for fishing communities all along the etc, the 400-year-old village has sacrificed its indigenous trade to the onslaught of industrialization, and above all, the precursors and consequences of global climate change. Today, with most of the male population a victim to a centuries-old profession rendered obsolete, an increasingly polluted climate, and no other commercial trade at hand, the roles of both breadwinner and homemaker now fall to the comparatively more educated women of Rehri. However, the rose-tinted lens of unintentional empowerment of the women of Rehri has arrived at the cost of wage exploitation by industrial settlers, the extinction of centuries of Indigenous culture, the clash of patriarchal norms with the need for a matriarchal system, and the children of Rehri are now vulnerable to neglect and unprecedented outcome. This is the story of the centuries-old symbiotic relationship between a coastal village dependent on the deep waters for a living, and the sea that now stands to take more than it gives.
