On Thursday, at the 38th Annual News and Documentary Emmys Award, “A Girl in a River: The Price of Forgiveness” adding another Emmy award to her show-case of trophies.
The documentary is a tale about a 19 year old girl surviving an honor killing attempted by her father and uncle. The protagonist is pressurized by the public to forgive her attackers. Going against her will, she had no choice but to do so, which set the criminals free.
The News & Documentary Emmy Awards were presented at a ceremony at Jazz at Lincoln Center’s Frederick P. Rose Hall in New York City.

” Jab kafir tumhari harkaton say khush hona start kr dein to samagh jao k tumharay sath kuch na kuch bohat ghalat hai”
is lye wo ghalat hai ya sai its clear what she is
Thanks @MabubakrAli:disqus Bhai
& See the Formal Language Response Mr. @OvaisAlam:disqus Bhai
@abdul wahab
Ignore him
In other words,
when Pakistani people do honour killing and throwing acid on faces of girls, Ali is silent
when Pakistani newspapers and tv shows highlight the problem, Ali is silent
when Sharmeen makes documentary about it, Ali wants to link her to kaffir
but about honour killing and throwing acid? Ali is still silent
Remember, silence = accept. So Ali is okay with such acts.
It is clear that kaffir are happy to know they are better than Ali because their culture does not tolerate it but Ali’s does. And in the end, that is what annoys Ali, not the actual crimes against Muslim women in Pakistan.
oh really?
You must be an american citizen for a very long time, you know every thing about them.. wowwww
amazing.
That was sarcasm BTW
actually i have lived in america
and saudi arabia
and italy
and uk
and pakistan
not sure what that has to do with anything, but there you are.
longest time in pakistan, of course, which is why i both understand & recognize people who think like you, and can compare with people who act better (and more importantly think cleaner)
and btw who told you i was silent on acid throwing and honor killing?
Did someone in your family told you that?
Sometimes i really hate my ex
“and btw who told you i was silent on acid throwing and honor killing?”
no one needs to “tell me”, i can see you are silent on both issues. and you are also attacking the person who tries to document such acts.
She knows the recipe now.. choose sensative topics.. make documentaries for festivals and award shows not for the audience aannddd Bammmm ! you have an award.
Add another entry in her name “Promise the victims to pay and then didn’t pay them”
You have 100% proof that she promised to pay? No?
Why don’t you ask persons who tried to kill her her face to pay? Oh, that’s right, the crime is okay by you.
Why you always try TO PUT WORDS in people’s mouth?
Where did I said that any sort of crime is okay?
Do you have 100% proof that those who attacked her are not planted by her to get even more fame?
In a situation where people are accusing Sharmeen of deceiving victims, of making anti-Islam and anti-Pakistan propoganda, what do you post about? Oh, something else you think she did.
Which of course you cannot prove.
If only you can use the GOOGLE and read the ARTICLES.
there is no article with evidence that she was going to pay any victim out of money made from a documentary.
no article on the internet at all.
Do you have 100% proof that those who attacked or try to attack her are not planted by her to get even more fame (like she did with the victims)?
Why you always try TO PUT WORDS into people’s mouth?
Where did I said that any sort of crime is okay?
No one has ever come forward with proof that she offered to give victim cash.
No one.
No one at all.
Not a single person.
But someone did watch the documentary and offer to buy the victim a house. Victim & victim’s family refused, they want cash. THIS IS PUBLIC KNOWLEDGE by everyone except conspiracy theorists like you.
Now I ask you, why you accuse Sharmeen of deception without proof? That is your crime.
She did not say anything local media has already not said.
Did you get angry at local media? Answer: no.
Did you get mad at people who commit such crimes? Answer: no.
But the OUTCOME of her documentaries in Pakistan is new laws passed against such acts. Apparently you think the laws are bad or something.
what a shame..
shes such a bitch
What’s the matter? Can’t handle a little criticism?
Did a woman bringing out knowledge of such practices put your panties in a twist?
Did a female accomplish more than you ever will embarrass you?
yea yea, like sunny leone, mia khalifa and nadia ali accomplished much more than me gonna make shiver.
Lol
You call this accomplishment?
Your accomplishments appear to be limited to making fun of women. That’s what I get from your FB after all.
I hope some day someone treats your wife and daughters like you treat other women. It is only fair for me to want for your women what you want for everyone else’s.
Oh yea, i definitely want my daughters to be treated like the way i treat other women. I treat them best and just, so thats what i want for my daughter as well. Moderation is the key young boy
yeah, i am pretty sure that is NOT the impression anyone would ever get from reading your fb posts. but hey, your daughter will be in prison some day.
> what a shame..
> shes such a bitch
Abubakr Ali, you have publicly defamed a Muslimah.
Your words cannot be taken back.
you know what?
Yazeed was MUSLIM too
HA HA HA HA
that’s the best comeback?
yes, i am sure that excuse will save you in the day of judgement. “someone else was bad!”

make anti-Pakistani , anti-Islamic documentaries , you will get awards …….. hope people get point
your and other’s cancerous comments are the reasons a complete ban should be imposed upon Pakistanis immigrating to the West.
Your views are incompatible with the values of a civilized society.
Stay in your own country and keep it ruined rather than run away and ruin the West
بھائی تیری غلطی نہیں ہے. یہ تیرے والدین کی غلطی ہے جنہوں نے تیری تربیت ہی ایسی کی ہے کہ تجھے گھٹیا کام بھی اخلاقیات سے بھرپورلگتے ہیں. میں لبلرلز کو خوب جانتا ہوں. یہ اپنی بہنوں کی بغلوں میں گھس کر ان سے ان کے بوائے فرینڈز کے ساتھ جنسی تعلقات کے بارے میں پوچھتے ہیں اور خوب چسکے لیتے ہیں.
In other words, if you oppose throwing acid on faces of girls and oppose honour killing, you are a Liberal and thus not a true Muslim.
Is that what you are saying? In simple terms, please. Tell us what her crime was.
idiot these things are common every where in world , but the problem is you when you make documentary on it and label Pakistan/Islam on top of it as the main problem , you are brainless , cant do any thing if you cant think freely outside box
It’s a documentary about some Pakistani people behaving badly against other Pakistani people. What label do you want to attach to it? Mexican? Nigerian? Who’s the idiot now, Zahid?
And not anywhere does it say that Islam is the problem. Get your facts right. Honour killing and Acid throwing are not supported by Islam and none of her documentaries say that it is. BUT many Pakistanis obviously support it because IT HAPPENS IN PAKISTAN, BY PAKISTANIS, TO PAKISTANIS.
If you don’t like Pakistani culture, fix it instead of blaming the messenger.
some Pakistani people behaving badly against other Pakistani people. …. it does not mean that you tell whole world , you broadcast internationally …. its like your home small problem you tell to your home town…
i do not argue with idiots ……
Oh my god you are so stupid. So so stupid.
So when Indian soldiers attack civilians in Held Kashmir, is your answer to a documentary about crimes against Kashmiris by saying
“Some Indian people behaving badly against other Indian people… it does not mean that you tell whole world, you broadcast internationally…”
You stupid man.
Another example, ISIS attacking civilians in Syria. Do you say to news reports that
“Some Arab people behaving badly against other Arab people… it
does not mean that you tell whole world, you broadcast
internationally…”
SO SO STUPID.
Too bad you will breed and raise your children to be nonthinkers like you.
DECADES of honour killing and acid attacks on Pakistani women and until her documentaries came out and won awards, NO LAWS WERE PASSED AGAINST SUCH CRIMES. So the net effect is a good thing for victims of such crimes YET YOU OPPOSE SUCH DOCUMENTARIES. It’s almost as if you don’t care about victims in your “home town”
i wonder why you so obsessed with her ? look kiddo as i said already i not argue with idiots …. you thoughts are within box nothing more than that , you have no idea how mainstream media works , things not work as you are fantasizing !!! this world is not paradise as you fantasizing , i pity you will breed and result will be robots like you nothing more than that who knows only word OBEY …
who says i am obsessed with her? i have never even watched any of her documentaries. i just know that your opinions are dumb and it’s obvious you cannot defend them.
haha!
I agree with zahid.
These hoes just use these kind of stuff to put their own religion and people in shame
We are preparing for our own doom.
#1. She has not made a single documentary against Islam.
#2. She has made documentaries against bad Pakistanis.
Can’t tell the difference? You failed.
#3 She refused to pay to the victim(s).
#4 She got $900000 (collective) for the documentary yet she never spent a single rupee on someone.
> #3 She refused to pay to the victim(s).
She did not make the victim.
She never promise to give money from her self to the victim. If you have copy of video or paper with the agreement show it otherwise accept you don’t know.
> #4 She got $900000 (collective) for the documentary yet she never spent a single rupee on someone.
Okay genius, try to learn something. People do not make documentaries IN ORDER TO MAKE MONEY. It is not the kind of movie that is a “hit” in the market. Many documentary makers barely recover their own expenses.
Secondly, she showed recorded video of driving the victim around to show them houses to buy. YOU CAN FIND THE VIDEO ONLINE.
Someone who saw documentary offered to buy victim a house but not give cash. Victim refused to get a house, instead wanted cash. No one wanted to trust her with cash because THEY KNOW acid victim with cash = will be killed by relatives especially husband who threw acid. They will kill her for the money.
Is throwing acid on faces of Muslim women pro-Pakistani and pro-Islam? Yes or no.
Is honour killing of Muslim women pro-Pakistan and pro-Islam? Yes or no.
Now, you have a choice. Either support such crimes against Muslim women, or accept Islam.
idiot these things are common every where in world , but the problem is you when you make documentary on it and label pakistan/islam on top of it as the main problem , you are brainless , cant do any thing if you cant think freely outside box
Just answer, yes or no.
When someone throws acid on a women that it NOT A RELIGION SPECIFIC crime. The guy(s) who did that should be put behind the bars regardless of their religion.
Why people like you always make it “someone throws acid on a Muslim/Pakistani women” issue?
Tell me, when she made a video about acid victims and honour crime victims, why did people accuse her of making anti-Islam videos? Search the comments on thispage if you don’t believe me, people accuse her of being anti Islam.
I am not saying that acid throwing is anti Islam, you idiot who cannot read. I am asking people who say she is anti-Islam WHY they call her anti-Islam when she clearly did not do or say anything anti-Islam.
Try to understand before you post. You’re arguing with the wrong person.
Why you always think that you’re better than other people? Some sort of mental disorder?
i have no opinion (pro or against) sharmeen. i’m definitely against acid throwing or honour killing and support efforts to stop those activities. even if it is just a documentary.
but i’m not talking about me, so why are you asking about how good i am?
Talking about the above statement of yours.
I am against acid throwing, honor killing, child marriages, and a number of other sh*ts (waderay, baadshah, chodhris etc) do but that doesn’t mean that I believe in every sh*t people who are against them are presenting.
