Who was Soraya M.? She was a young woman murdered by Islamist thugs in 1986. She is every woman who continues to suffer under Islamist tyranny around the world.
Most of the horror stories we never hear about. One story has been made into a film, The Stoning of Soraya M. I am not looking forward to watching it. But watch it I must.

It is important for people to know what continues to happen in many different cultures around the world. I saw the movie and can attest that i was crying, but i was crying because it is long overdue not telling the truth and getting support from world leaders. The stoning sequence is difficult only because you identify with the character; Mozan did an excellent job with the character and the director makes everyone remember that something can be done to stop this and improve women’s rights. Thank you Shohreh and the rest of the cast for stepping up!
