Saving Face

I was very privileged to meet Daniel Junge today. He is the co-director of the Academy Award Winning documentary, Saving Face. In brief, it is a film about Pakistani women who are abused and victims of a horrid acid-attack. Although not always, many times is from their husbands. I recommend this film. It is heart-wrenching and so shocking, but empowering to see these women fight back.

It's so easy to get caught up in complaints. I know I do. And it is easy to forget about anything beyond the world we know a lot of the time because we do not constantly see life outside ours or even know about the wretched things going on. But I do hope, that as we consider that somewhere right now, someone is fighting for their rights, their freedom, or their life... that we really make note of appreciating all that we have. And understanding that to bring change, it starts with awareness.
