Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy won the Academy Award for her documentary, A Girl in the River. Sharmeen’s films are about truly heroic Pakistani women — women who have suffered appalling cruelty and oppression but who have refused to be silenced. In telling their stories to the world, they have fought back and exposed injustice.Any nation should be proud to have such women in its midst.
