The many challenges facing Hazara youth in Quetta have been highlighted in Mehdi Askari's film Alif (the equivalent of the letter "A" in English which symbolises the beginning). Alif is an endeavour by budding Hazara artists in Pakistan who have felt the need to bring the plight of their community's youngsters to the attention of Pakistani and International me
