i don't know if anyone heard of "Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy" She is a legend to all of the women in the world and especially in Pakistan where women treated poorly (not all the women but some do) their husband splash acid on their faces or their parents don't allow their daughter to marry the guy she is interested in and that even makes me sad :frown:
But a Women like Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy made documentaries of real life stories and changed their lives... She is the first Pakistani who won two Oscars in a row (i think), first documentary she made was "Saving Face" (2012) and she won an Oscar award for that film and the other one she won an Oscar award for "A Girl in the River: The Price of Forgiveness" 2015, just because of that documentary, Pakistan parliament decided to change the legislation :u:

:love::love::love:I love her!!! she's just amazing:love::love::love:



This is lovely. I'm so glad people are finally doing something about issues such as acid attacks which are so common in places like Pakistan and India. It genuinely makes me so sad that men are allowed to get away with that kind of behavior so it's great to hear that legislation has changed in Pakistan.

i didn't say that no one cares about the documentaries; you said that :u:
but i prefer watching something that reflects real life situations


Lmao I didn't say you said it! I said I was explaining since you asked why I said it.

:curious:

what the hell? :lol:

Anyway. For the last time. I care about documentaries, as they're normally important. However...apparently...other people don't...according to...complaints about...no diversity in...the Acting categories... I said this because...DiddyDec...mocked those complaints when he said..."I thought Oscars was just for Whites."

I doubt that's what she meant. I for one love documentaries and greatly admire this woman but it's true that the majority of people (at least in the West) are absorbed with the celebrity culture and movies and care less about documentaries, unfortunately. But in the area where most of the public is focused, the majority of ethnic minorities in Hollywood cannot hope to have a real career. They are much less likely to be offered respected movie roles that White actors and actresses.


*SIGH* Thank you, I thought it was me. Actually I didn't :lol:

Anywho.

Nah. Only African Americans think they're persecuted. Other minorities use their brain.
