Brief Explanation

For the first time, an anti-domestic violence film invites men to beat women. We open with women asking to be beaten. In a clever twist though, we quickly transform the phrase “Beat me” from a submissive retreat to an emphatic invitation by strong Pakistani women, challenging men to beat them. But, at things they’re good at. We showcase each woman with the script not only building on her strength, but cleverly relating it to different forms of abuse. A celebrity singer challenges verbal abuse, saying “Beat with me your voice”, the Pakistani star athlete and fastest woman in South Asia challenges physical abuse saying “Beat me with your feet”. The film features a child chess champion, a boxing champion from one of the most violent neighborhoods in Karachi, a Pakistani climber who has conquered Everest, the football team captain, ultimately laddering up to the UN Women ambassador proclaiming "I'm unbeatable.”
