It does not cost anymore for this option and I love it because I get a choice
of over 17000 films, many of which are foreign ones. Last night I watched this
movie and was literally in tears. It is a true story about an Iranian woman
in a remote Iranian village who is stoned to death by the village
because her husband trumped up charges of infidelity against her.
It is a story told to a French journalist played by James Caviezel,
because one woman took the risk of making sure the world would know
about such atrocities. The journalist got the word out and wrote a book
and made a film . The film was a runner up as best movie to
"Slum Dog Millionaire" in that year in the foreign film genre.
What was most interesting was the power that Mob rule had
when even the woman's 2 young sons threw rocks at their
mother when encouraged by the crowd. This is a great movie which
I recommend to you. This kind of thing still unfortunately happens
in the middle east where women have no rights. It is a very harrowing
tale and if you are not moved then you are made of stone.
