To counter violent extremism and tribal conflicts, which had been gripping up in different parts of Sindh, especially in district Khairpur, Shikarpur, and Jacobabad. Mehrdar Art and Production (MAP) started a project called Stories of Sindh, according to a press release. The program seeks to encourage youth to come together to reclaim the reputation of the historically inclusive society of Sindh through documentaries. A total of 75 participants were selected from Khairpur, Shikarpur, and Jacobabad with 25 from each district. According to Iqbal, during various stages of the workshop, participants came to understand how positive storytelling brings communities together and how powerful documentaries can remind audiences about what all is common between them and others.
