The Stoning of Soraya M.

The other night I watched The Stoning of Soraya M. It's the story of a woman who is falsely accused of adultery by her husband and in result stoned to death. The story is told through her courageous aunt who had to witness the whole ordeal. This movie is one of the few that have ever brought me to tears. I cannot fathom the thought of more than one rock hitting my body so to see a woman being tied to the ground and having hundreds of stones pelted at her whole upper body (including her face) is very surreal. What makes it even worse is that this form of punishment is still practiced many countries around the world. Soraya's story is very moving and powerful but not for the weak hearted. I suggest this move for someone who is interested in an eye-opener.
