the filmed only in the slums

there is a lot of crime in karachi, way too much

but there are very nice places of karachi, there is the part of the population going to college, becoming doctors and lawyers, running resturants.

while i don't deny that karachi is a messed up place, don't be fooled into thinking that all of karachi is anywhere near like that

They search out extremes, and present them as though they were everyday life. Highly judgmentally, and as such, are purveyors of hate.

I can't decide if it annoys me or if I like it. Some of the documentaries they come up with seem specifically tailored just to turn heads. Search 'Vice documentary' on Youtube and you'll see what I mean. You have to wonder if they simply just piece together foreign tidbits until they have enough to effectively blow some nonexistent phenomenon in to existence. It comes off a bit too superficial and trendy, but I dunno.
I really like their documentaries; but some of the points of views there seem to be very one-sided; they do not take the time or effort to show opposing or contrasting views; it is just one POV or one angle throughout the entire documentary...
