Raheel Lakhani: Sharmeen Saves Pakistan’s Face, Much Respect!

Raheel Lakhani: Sharmeen Saves Pakistan’s Face, Much Respect!Those who tell the stories, rule the world (Navajo proverb, also attributed to Plato).

I do not know whether such people can rule the world or not but they surely rule people’s heart. What’s the proof? #SavingFace started trending on twitter after the path-breaking win of Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy and US-based Daniel Junge at the Oscars. *OMG! Bhangra & Teary Eyes*

Saving Face, Pakistan’s first nomination and win for the Academy awards, is a short 52-minutes documentary on the issue of acid attacks in Pakistan. It competed against God Is the Bigger Elvis, The Barber of Birmingham, Incident in New Baghdad, and The Tsunami and the Cherry Blossom. The short documentary is filmed entirely in Pakistan and scheduled to be aired in March 2012 on HBO.
