Scars and a strong spirit

Films in Focus

Six years after Scarred was made, the film continued to travel through festivals around the world. The piece revisits the documentary’s journey, the women whose stories shaped it, and Sarah Thomas’s reflections on why she chose to portray the reality of acid attacks without softening or aestheticising what the survivors had lived through.
