A Girl in the River: The Price of Forgiveness is a 2015 documentary film directed by Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy about honor killings in Pakistan.

Sharmeen and Arvind Adiga both show the reality and dirty image of their nation. Sharmeen shows the reality of women killing for honor of family and Arvind Adiga portrayed the harsh reality of India. There is an argued against Arvind Adiga that why he portrayed ugly and negative image of India, Rather than good or Positive side of India? People want admiration of Western people. They thought that if we portrayed negative image of our country then the Western will never wants to come in our country. There is an interesting example of the film based on Nirbhaya rape case. This film was banned by government of India. The reason behind it that if the Westerns know that the things like  rape happened more in India then they never like to come in India. But the people like Malala, Denny Boyle, Arvind Adiga and Sharmeen who portrayed the reality of their nation. Their purpose is only to tell the truth and reality. Shrmeen’s film are about truly heroic have suffered appealing cruelty and oppression but who have refused to be silenced.

                 The hundreds of women are murdered every year for honor, yet it’s taken the buzz that Shrmeen’s single film has generated abroat to promote Nawas Sharif’s avowal to put an end to honor killing at home and embolden Imran Khan to publically decry the practice, I am completely agree with her words that if we find that these stories shame us then we must do something about them. But for those of us still fixated on the image issue, it’s quite simple really, you want better PR? Improve the Product.

People like Adiga when trys to give his views on dirty side of India then it can not be considered as good one and some people or political leaders have problems with them that they are putting bad image in front of new generation which is not true.
