Shame: A documentary film about Honour Killings in Sindh, Pakistan

Author: 
Sharjil Baloch
Publication Date: 
January, 2005

Synopsis: "Shame" is part of the honor killing awareness-raising campaign in rural Sindh and southern Punjab. The directors take to the road, documenting shocking interviews that uncover a deep-rooted gender bias in rural Pakistan as well as the first ever footage of a karion jo qabristan, an unmarked graveyard where victims of honor killing are buried without any ritual. An important and timely film.


Title: Shame | Director: Sharjil Baloch | Genre: Documentary | Produced In: 2005
