The film chronicles Pinki, a 5-year-old girl who was living with a severe cleft in one of the poorest areas of India. Not allowed to attend school and ostracized because of her deformity, Pinki lived a life of quiet desperation as she waited and wondered if she would ever receive the cleft surgery her parents could never afford. Told in a vibrant verite-style, rich with nuance and complexity, the film follows its wide-eyed protagonist on a journey from isolation to embrace. SMILE PINKI debuts June 3 at 7:00pm on HBO.
