The disfigured women have one saviour, Dr. Mohammad Jawad, a plastic surgeon who tries to help them move on with their lives. During filming, Pakistani women parliamentarians showed testimony of victims of acid violence, and successfully enacted legislation to punish these perpetrators more severely, with life imprisonment. This is yet another case of a movie helping to change the world.
The film was produced by Davis Coombe, Daniel Junge, Alison Greenberg, Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy and Sabiha Sumar and exec produced by HBO Documentary Films' Lisa Heller and Sheila Nevins. (My recent interview with Nevins is here.)

Fantastic documentary, I just want to also say that you the genius doctor and all that have supported you do not feel like the underdog or weak to these evil horrible little men, they deserve to be punished and this documentary Inshallah will open people's eyes and allow us to punish those who commit this crime
