A Girl in the River: The Price of Forgiveness wins best documentary short Oscar. 

Quote:

Pakistani-Canadian filmmaker Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, who won the Academy Award for documentary short, credits her time in Canada for helping inform her powerful storytelling.

"When you live in a country like Canada, you begin to realize how right things can be," Obaid-Chinoy told CBC inside the Oscars press room after her win. "Then when you travel back to Pakistan and to other countries which are in conflict, you can see what's going wrong."

Her winning documentary short, A Girl in the River: The Price of Forgiveness, is about honour killings, told through the eyes of Saba Qaiser.
