The Stoning of Soraya M.
|
Summary:
From the filmmaker who produced “The Passion of the Christ” comes a powerful film, a modern-day parable, based on an incredible true story of sacrifice, oppression and mob rule. A village’s persecution of an innocent woman becomes both a daring act of witness and a compelling introspection. As Christians, how do we confront evil? Do we recognize its subtle manipulations? Who will join forces with the plot against her, who will surrender to the mob, and who will dare to stand up for what’s right? This film is an inspiring tribute to the many fighting against injustice around the world.
Academy Award® nominee Shohreh Aghdashloo (THE NATIVITY STORY, HOUSE OF SAND AND FOG) stars in the heroic role of Zahra, an Iranian woman with a burning secret. When a journalist (Jim Caviezel, THE PASSION OF THE CHRIST, DÉJÀ VU) is stranded in her remote village, she makes a bold choice to reveal what the villagers will stop at nothing to keep hidden.
