A Girl in the River: The Price of Forgiveness (2015)

Received well by the critics, A Girl in the River is a documentary film directed by Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy which won the ‘Best Documentary Short’ in the 88th Academy Awards. Honour killings are an international disgrace, and records state that over 5000 women lose their lives every year. The documentary talks about the tale of a woman who is almost killed by her father for indulging in forbidden love. The father feels justified in killing his daughter to protect his family from dishonour. While, accepting the speech Obaid-Chinoy stated that the change shows the ‘power of the film’, she felt nothing could have been more right.
