About this movie

Every year in Pakistan, at least 100 people are victimized by brutal acid attacks. The majority of these are women, and many cases go unreported. With little access to reconstructive surgery, survivors are physically and emotionally scarred, while many reported assailants are let go with minimal punishment. SAVING FACE tells the stories of two acid-attack survivors: Zakia and Rukhsana.
