Summary

Moin Khan, from Pakistan, has been passionate about motorcycles since childhood. While attending school in the United States, Moin was surprised by how little people knew about Pakistan, and much of what they did know seemed inaccurate. So, after finishing school, he decided to ride a motorcycle back to Pakistan, calling his journey ‘A Different Agenda’. His goal was to change perceptions about Pakistan, one encounter at a time. In the end, Moin was amazed by how the journey unfolded and by the kindness of the people he met, which beautifully challenged his own assumptions.
