Pakistani journalist Sharmeen Obaid Chinov and the American filmmaker Daniel Junge unite to document the tragedy of hundreds of Pakistani women whose faces are disfigured by acid many times by their own husbands as a reaction to asking for divorce. They follow the struggle of some of these women for justice and reparations, as well as the efforts of a Pakistani plastic surgeon who lives in London, Dr. Mohammad Jawad, who travels to his native country to help them reconstruct their features. Winner of the Oscar for best short documentary in 2012.
