smoke inside the water lead the water to get completely hazardous for animals to breathe.

and their waste dumping into account. Factories in I-9 have one of the poorest waste dumping
systems and the chemical leakages from the factories are poorly managed. At times along with
the corruption of high ups the waste is dumped in the dams of Islamabad causing a huge marine
life loss. To show the burning of fuels and coals, we could also show some shots of factories and
the smoke released by trucks and buses which creates pollution. Cameraman will take ELS to

many plastics”.

climate change.

waste doesn’t die and as per the statistics its complete decomposition takes 2500 years.

Scene

EXT: DAY

A shot later we will feature a quick account of how the buildings of Islamabad are affected by
the acid rain phenomena. Acid rain is caused with the rain droplets falling from the sky gets
mixed with the harmful toxic emissions from the factories, vehicles and other industries and
cause a high risk of irritation, skin cancer, drought and marine deaths.

National vs. International Comparison

International Researches

VOICE OVER:

Climate change is real and people call it the crisis of time, Scientists and researchers say that
there is a 95% chance that human activity is the cause of climate change. Human activities like
burning more and more fossil fuels, which release carbon dioxide to power our homes and
factories. From pollution to over population, the global population has tripled in the past
seventy years, talking about Pakistan, it is among the most populated countries in the world. We
are consuming more products from animals that release another pollutant called methane which
is disposed into rivers and sea. The use of plastic is also one of the major cause of climate
change, plastic is used in a huge amount all over the world, talking about Pakistan uses 50
Billion Plastic Bags per Year which cause the global warming and makes the temperature
warmer. To prevent the further dangerous levels of climate change. Countries around the world
signed a Paris agreement. The Paris agreement aims to keep a global warming below 2 degree.
To stop the world from getting warmer. We need to reduce the use of fossil fuels. Increase the
use of renewable energy sources. The UN says that right now, our world is about 1 degree than
pre industrial time. Sea levels are rising about 3 millimeters a year, because sea water expands
as temperature get warmer. Melting ice sheets and glaciers also add trillions of tons of fresh
water into our oceans.

SOLUTIONS

VO “The PTI government came into power with the agenda to work on the climate change, so
they have recently banned the use of plastic bags in the markets. Also they have launched a
plantation drive called “Billion Tree Tsunami” which aims at planting more trees in the county to
make the environment better”.

every problem we show cased, and the global Vs. Pakistani perspective we shall end the
documentary with some Tickers, to be adopted in the future.

“If the drops can make an ocean, we can join hands to make this world a better place to live”

Scene:
We will end this by an influential message that by placing hands of every aged group around the
plants with background VO together we can make this a better place to live and we embrace the
challenge to make a difference.

Narration:

Mother earth is angry, is in frustration

Full Poem:

Script for the Voice Over:

 “Mother earth is angry”

The children seldom take her care


As they have no time to stand and stare

Busy ruining it round the clock


Money giving their minds a hammerlock

Waiting for the hell to break loose


Every day, giving it a new bruise

Chasing dreams, cash and dares


As if it never wasnt there’s

Lost in the charm of a worldly galore


She is but sweet and hardly sour

Our trucks, smoke and chimneys but


Wrecked a havoc on its natural strut

There were several things, if were fulfilled


Our snows and trees would never have been killed

The bright sunshine is now getting dangerous


As the ultraviolet rays are tearing us

Have you ever thought of the birds migrating?


Desertification and the seas dehydrating

Or the epidemic that the globe is warming


They're dying of hunger who once were farming

Menacing erosions cause the acid rain


Not controlling which would be enormous pain

Our cars, our dumps, our sprays are pollution


The marines are gasping in the dirty ocean

The mother bleeds on the Australian fires


We must behave as the need of the hour

We must halt the cutting of trees


So that she could have a sigh of relief
We spread the drought and the rising sea levels
We cause the imbalance, we are the devils

All the but justify her anger


Once a beauty is now just a banger

Mother earth is angry, is in frustration


Who will find her cure, a million dollar question
