In the wake of suspicion and stereotypes, Where Floods Spoke Louder than the Fear documents the human face of catastrophe during Pakistan’s 2011 monsoon floods. As five million people were affected and homes drowned beneath the swollen Indus, what emerged was not extremism, but extraordinary resilience.
From submerged farmlands to makeshift cricket games and madrasa classrooms doubling as shelters, this series captures the quiet dignity of communities surviving with nothing—yet still offering chai to strangers.
Beneath the floodwaters, propaganda dissolved. What remained was humanity—misunderstood, misrepresented, and deeply resilient.
