Tezaab - official treiler
TEZAAB ('acid' in Hindi) is a documentary about women who have survived some of the most brutal manifestations of gender-based violence imaginable. The documentary sheds light on this horrific type of violence - and how the survivors of such attacks find the will to live and the way out of the enormous mental and physical pain that accompanies such an attack. The viewer also gets to know how - despite incredibly difficult circumstances, in a society that drives them away with apathy, prejudice, and ignorance - they rise up strong and proud.

About
Acid attacks have appeared across the world in relatively recent times, as
modern technology makes large quantities of concentrated acids cheap, and
readily available. Acid attacks, or “acid throwing”, have been declared a genderspecific
crime, given the fact that at least 80% of the victims are women.
Although acid attacks have been reported in many countries around the world,
they are most common in Pakistan, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Cambodia
and India. This story involves women from India and how they go about their
daily lives after being attacked in this horrible, inhuman way.
