- Description
Pakistan is one of the several educational films created by Clarence W. Sorensen for Encyclopaedia Britannica Films. This film focuses on comparing East and West Pakistan as a complete nation that have different styles of living based on climate and natural resources. In the East the Ganges delta provides a climate abundant in water that supplies the area with cash crops such as rice and jute fibers. In the West life is much different where the climate is very dry and water is scarce. This area functions by traveling into the cities to trade and most of the crafts and framing are done by hand with simple tools. Though Pakistan has been an independent nation since 1947 it is noted that the nation is still very much rooted in its old customs of living.
