While Dreams Sleep features personal stories of Pakistani women asrecorded and photographed by Kaye Martindale and Geoff Brokate.They visited cities, mountain villages and rural communities meetingwoman after woman who opened their arms and hearts: some tellingstories of success after determined struggle, some bringing out intothe light for the first time secrets of pain and tragedy and some werebarely able to find the words to express their suffering.One remarkable encounter was with a young Malala Yousafzai who atthe age of 14 was unaware of the tragedy that awaited her. She wasalready known in her community for speaking out against the Talibanand standing up for girls' education. It is an intimate encounter with apowerful voice who would go on to win the Nobel Peace Prize.In the story of Malala we see the best and worst of Pakistan; a countryof extremes where circumstances force acts of formidable courage andacts of unthinkable brutality.
