StarzPlay by Cinepax, Pakistan’s fastest growing streaming service has been keeping the country entertained with new blockbuster releases coming out almost every month.

DW’s original production HER features universal, existential and controversial stories told by women themselves: What links them? What distinguishes them? What challenges do they face?

Meet women across South Asia and hear their stories – they may look different, live in different countries and be from different parts of society – but are linked together by their shared experiences and perspectives.
