o we here my interpretation, according to my understanding.
A documentary about honor killings in Pakistan won an Oscar on Sunday night having already spurred the country’s government toward toughening laws to protect women.
"A Girl in the River” is the story of Saba Qaiser, whose father and uncle shot her in the face, stuffed her in a bag and tossed her in a river in rural Punjab province, after she ran away to marry the man she loved. Ms. Qaiser, 18 years old at the time, survived.
The film was the second Oscar for Pakistani producer and director Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy and won the award for best short documentar.
I am agree with this here Sharmeen's point also same Sharmeen's first Oscar award winning documentary film, A Girl in the River, portrayed a negative side of India. Has been much celebrated at home. Deservedly so. In this documentary, she has presented reality of women's life that hwomen in Pakistan are suffering by the honour killing which may bring change in women's life after showing the true picture of it. Once reality came out, we can change the bad situation but if it is still hidden we can't do anything as there are so many crimes happen with women daily which can't reported in news or by any documentary like .
Thank you.
