Pakistana

In the vibrant backstreets of Barcelona, a young woman of Pakistani heritage grapples with questions of identity and belonging.

For young Nina the bustling Spanish city of Barcelona is home. But with her melancholic father homesick for Pakistan, and her Spanish boss insisting on calling her Pakistana, Nina struggles with divided loyalties. She finds herself torn between her family and their past in a country she barely knows and her present in a city that both dazzles and beguiles.
Pakistana is a specially commissioned story for Radio 4, written and read by Fatima Bhutto.
Produced by Karen Holden
