A Girl in the River: The Price of Forgiveness

A 2016 Oscar(®) winner for Best Documentary Short, this film tells the extraordinary story of a young Pakistani woman who lived to tell of her narrow escape from an attempted 'honor' killing by her father and uncle. Told through the lens of a true love story, the film tells the story of Saba who was shot and left for dead after marrying a man once promised to her. The result is a scathing examination of the contradictions between modernism and tradition within Pakistani society.
