SAVING FACE DOCUMENTARY

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (All rights reserved and copyright to owners)

         
Saving Face is a 2011 documentary film about acid attacks on women. The film was directed by Sharmeen Obaid Chinoy and Daniel Junge. The film has been awarded the 2012 Academy Award for Best Documentary (Short Subject), making it director, Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, Pakistan's first Oscar winner.



SYNOPSIS

The film follows London-based Pakistani plastic surgeon, Dr. Mohammad Jawad, as he journeys to Pakistan to perform reconstructive surgery on survivors of acid violence.[6] Saving Face also broaches the subject of the under-reporting of acid violence due to cultural and structural inequalities towards women. The film also features two women attacked by acid and their struggle for justice and healing. The Acid Survivors Foundation of Pakistan, which is featured in the film, had documented over 100 acid attacks a year in Pakistan but estimates far more due to lack of reporting.



Obaid-Chinoy has also stated that the film is "a positive story about Pakistan on two accounts: firstly, it portrays how a Pakistani-British doctor comes to treat them and it also discusses, in great depth, the parliament’s decision to pass a bill on acid violence". Obaid-Chinoy has also said that the film assisted in the trial and conviction of one of the perpretrators of acid violence on a female victim.



PRODUCTION

Obaid-Chinoy chose the subject of acid violence after being contacted by Junge, who had already filmed portions of the documentary prior to their discussion. Obaid-Chinoy commented to the Wall Street Journal that "The subject matter immediately appealed to me: Acid violence impacts women in southern Punjab and changes the lives of hundreds of women each year." The documenters initially had some difficulty contacting and gaining the trust of the survivors in the film as well as connecting with the local community, but stated that "once we had spent a considerable amount of time on the ground and had established relationships, we did not experience any further obstacles.

LETTER FROM KATIE PIPER TO ORGANISERS AND GUESTS AT AUCTION 19 AUGUST (FACE OF 2012 GALA AWARDS)

Good evening ladies and gentlemen,

Due to a prior engagement I am unable to attend tonight’s event, but I would like to take this opportunity to express my thanks to the organisers for choosing to support the Katie Piper Foundation.

We established the Foundation with the goal of delivering an advanced rehabilitation and burns clinic in the UK, providing the treatment and familiar surroundings to allow burns survivors to recover on both a physical and emotional level.  Since it was founded in 2009 we’ve been fortunate enough to work with some truly inspiring people, and have been able to provide rehabilitation and treatment, clinical care, self-image workshops and support networks.

Of course, none of this would have been possible without the on-going help from our supporters, and all of us at the charity understand how lucky we are to have such a committed network behind us. As such, the backing from the Face of 2012 Gala Awards is truly appreciated by all of us, allowing us to continue delivering our services and support to those living with scars and burns. Whilst we are still some way from achieving the pinnacle of treatment facilities, as well as the normalisation of disfigurement in society, it is support such as this which drives us one step closer to these goals.

So from myself personally, and all of us at the Katie Piper Foundation, I would like to say thank you once more to the Face of 2012 team.  Your support really does make a difference.

Thank you all and I wish you a wonderful evening.
