These Birds Walk is a 2013 documentary film directed by Omar Mullick and Bassam Tariq that follows the life of a runaway boy in Pakistan as well as the humanitarian efforts of Abdul Sattar Edhi.

Asad's responsibilities as an ambulance driver include picking up children from police stations, taking them home, and transporting dead bodies.

The filmmakers don't dwell on the boy's personal history or the workings of the Edhi Foundation, rather, the film captures how Omar spends his days while in the home with other runaway children.
