Of course, I am supper psyched and why not Pakistan's 'Saving Face' by Daniel Junge and Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy won the Oscar's " Best Documentary Short Award ."
This is first ever Pakistani film have been nominated and now Oscar is coming home .
The documentary is about two women : Rukhsana and Zakia ___victims of acid burns,and Pakistani-British plastic surgeon Dr. Mohammad Jawad, who came back to Pakistan and did reconstructive surgery on these survivors .
Chinoy dedicated the award to all the heroes working on the ground in Pakistan ,and on happy note she said :

ReplyDeleteHey, Pak-Girl!
ReplyDeleteThat your country has something else to smile about is good news.
And...I am one of many(?) who is aware of wanted and deserved change in the role of women in Eastern countries.
I wonder if you'd consider writing a blog post with the possibilities for change. Your viewpoint is always interesting, timely, and succinctly written.
Again, I am glad you are smiling over the recognition from Hollywood, and the honor of winning an Oscar!
PEACE!
