Dr Mohammad Jawad and Zakia in 'Saving Face', one of the Oscar-nominated shorts playing at Coolidge Corner. 'Saving Face' moves in for a series of unsettling close-ups. The subjects of Daniel Junge's documentary are Pakistani women whose husbands and boyfriends have thrown acid in their faces- 100 such attacks are reported each year,with many others going unreported - and the plastic surgeons,legislators, and social workers striving to restore their bodies and spirits.
