Another Oscar

Smile Pinki


Almost forgot, a short documentary called "Smile Pinki" recieved an Oscar too. A lot of Oscars to the indians.



Plot summary from IMDB.com:

It's about Pinki, a five year old girl from some village of Mirzapur District, India, born in a desperately poor family, and with a cleft lip. They never realized it just required one simple operation, until she meets Pankaj, a social worker traveling from village to village gathering patients to go to hospital in Varanasi that provides free surgery to thousands each year. Told in a vibrant style, this real-world fairy tale follows its protagonist journey to a dream smile from isolation and shame.
