Silent Veil
“Shocking and heart-breaking, this documentary shows both the atrocious injustices that some women are subjected to in Pakistan and the beauty behind their scarred faces.”
In Pakistan, veils hide one of the country's most terrible secrets. Driven by revenge, jealousy or sexual non-co-operation some men subject their wives to horrific attacks with acid that is freely available in the street. Completely disfigured, the victims are often ostracized by their families and become prisoners in their own home. This chilling documentary is a terrifying insight into the shattered lives of these women.
