European Documentary Film Festival Opens in Karachi

The second smallest continent of the world, Europe plays host to people belonging to different cultures, speaking different languages and espousing different religious ideas. By embracing such religious and cultural diversity, Europe negates the theory of clash of civilizations. The first documentary screened on Friday night was about Jean Monnet (1888-1979), who is widely regarded as an architect of European unity. The movie describes how Monnet strove for the integration of the various cultures of Europe throughout the First and Second World Wars. The European documentary festival will continue till May 31.
