"Finding Face" Film

Noon April 9, 2013
SSB Auditorium

(NR)

"Finding Face" details the controversial case of Tat Marina, who was attacked with acid in Cambodia in 1999. The film contextualizes acid violence in Cambodia as both a human rights violation and a gender-based form of violence. In it, human rights workers and survivors of acid attacks discuss the many challenges faced by victims, as well as what they see as a culture of impunity surrounding violence against women.

This film is free, open to the public, and sponsored by the Multicultural Programming Committee.
