Filmmaker Discussion and Q&A To Follow

SAN FRANCISCO, May 12 /PRNewswire/ --

WHAT: The community is invited to attend a FREE screening of SMILE
PINKI, a documentary short on Wednesday, May 27 at the Sundance
Kabuki theater in San Francisco.

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.

WHEN: WEDNESDAY, MAY 27, 2009
6:00 P.M. - Doors Open
6:30 P.M. - Screening
