The 2016 Academy Award Winner for Best Documentary Short, this documentary foIlows the story of Saba, a young woman from the Punjab region of Pakistan, who was shot and Ieft for dead by her father and uncle after marrying Qaiser, a man once promised to her by her famiIy. ToId through the lens of a true love story, the fiIm is a scathing examination of the contradictions between modernism and tradition within Pakistani society, as Saba struggles with pressures to "forgive" the reIatives who tried to kiIl her - a pronouncement that wouId set them free. ln this masterful work of high-risk journaIistic storytelIing, award-winning fiImmaker Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy (Saving Face) uncovers the compIex and violent forces faced by women in Pakistan, particularly as it reIates to human rights and famiIy honor. |
