Netflix:
Wow! This was one of the most interesting, amusing, sad, hilarious, and fucked up documentaries I have seen in a long time! It is a very alarming yet fascinating look into the rebel White family of West Virginia. If you like documentaries or reality shows, you will probably enjoy this one. (Also, the choice of music for certain scenes had me laughing my ass off!)
This is a very powerful movie and based on the comments and tears of people in the theater it is also a very emotionally moving story. Be advised, there are some very graphic scenes of spousal abuse and the stoning sequence is disturbing but necessary to the story. The film opens by showing the town where the story takes place and a journalist whose car breaks down nearby. The journalist meets the aunt of Soraya named Zahra and she tells the story of what happened the day before. Soraya is an honorable woman whose unfaithful husband conspires against her for a divorce she will not grant. He finally finds a way to use carefully crafted lies to create charges of infidelity, which carry a death penalty. In the end, Zahra fulfills her promise to let the world know what happened on that day. I was disappointed in how the movie, being set in Iran, uses the backdrop of Islam. I am an Essene Minister and I understand that any faith can be misused by corrupt people. The reaction to this film by some of the Christians in the theater was one of negativity to Islam. It is clear that the practice of honor killing by stoning & misusing faith for injustice is not limited to any one faith. I was saddened to hear comments from the audience about Muslims being bad people. I want to make it clear to anyone watching the film that this film is not about Islam but about mans inhumanity to man and for people of faith it is a film that should make you ask yourself, "How can God forgive us for what we do to each other in the name of faith." Please take the time to see this film and let us all work together to let the world know about this woman's story so we can shed light on injustices done to men and women like Soraya whose deaths we never hear about. We must be willing to act without cowardice to reveal and prevent injustice by being the voice for those who are not heard.
