Due to financial struggles, Abdul Rehman had to take the financial burden on himself and move to Lahore in order to find a job so he could support his family.
Will to Survive is a documentary that attempts to give a glimpse in the life of an ordinary man fighting to make ends meet. In third world countries, economic struggles take a toll on majority of the population, whether it is financial, physical or mental health. Coming from a middle class background, Abdul Rehman faces the same struggles as every other man in his country, and many countries alike, go through. The documentary takes this common factor and struggles amongst all lower and middle class citizens and tries to highlight it through Abdul Rehman’s journey.
