hi folks,
Saving Face: True Stories
Every year in Pakistan more than 100 people, most of them women, are known to be victims of acid attacks, while numerous other cases go unreported. With little or no access to reconstructive surgery, survivors are left physically and emotionally scarred. This extended version of an Oscar-winning film follows pioneering British plastic surgeon Mohammad Jawad as he travels to the country to treat two victims, 39-year-old Zakia and 23-year-old Rukhsana, who were both maimed by their husbands
Who's watching? On NOW.

A horrible outcome, no justice for these victims.
It's a truly terrifying thing to happen but I'm a little sad that the justice the victims want is for their perpetrators to suffer the same fate.
An eye for an eye I suppose, but I would prefer long prison terms a financial penalty to pay for medical treatment .
Absolutely amazing. Those guys who make them are geniuses.

Very true. Unbelievable any man could do this to a woman, never mind another woman doing it.
Not just Pakistani men, terrible things happen to women in all cultures where women are considered to be of little value.
Its difficult to believe how anyone could do something so dreadful to another human being. Delighted to hear of the double life sentence imposed on one of the perpetuators.
