Such an impressive woman. So refreshing to see an actress who's working towards a cause that's so close to her heart and home. Having seen this movie I can tell you right now that her performance is incredible. Really worth seeing it for her and the message of the film. Highly recommend it.

On a side note, reading how the video of a real stoning that Shohreh watched lasting over an hour and half really opened my eyes with regards to the biblical accounts of the stoning of Stephen and Paul, the apostle. I always tended to gloss over those words before. I mean I "knew" stoning was terrible, but it was history. I won't read those passages the same way any more.

m; it is not being shown anywhere close

That's my problem.. the nearest movie theatre around here that is carrying it was about 30 minutes outside of KC… (that's about a 3-4 hour drive for me?)

yeah that and scourging or crucifixion or any number of punishments.
that is what got me about the CIA "torture" mothods and the Al Queda torture methods.
People tried to compare the two. There is just no way to do it without looking like a propagandist.

As for the Bible and the accounts written there. I will put my faith in a book written over the course of 1600 years that bears the same message from start to finish over the religion of peace any day.

Now what is going to happen when the American left and their multi-cultural socialist utopia are forced to appease both the NAMBLA types and their "Moderate" Muslims demanding the implementation of Shariah Law in the good old USSA?

And they wonder why we Conservatives believe that there can be no true "immigration" into the US without at least some effort to conform to our laws and our society? I celebrate my heritage to be sure but I am not a hyphenated American for exactly this reason.

Coming soon to a neighborhood near you!

Hate to say it Buck, but AI or the UN couldn't care less. As long as the evil empire called America (but that was under previous managment).

When this is released on DVD, invite your liberal buddies to see it. Don't tell them and just show it to them. Then see if they think Obama did the right thing about Iran. It works cause it is nauseating. It will go on until the mad mullahs are removed from Iran, one way or the other.

On the local news, a university professor, Iranian by birth, just returned from a relative's wedding there. He claims the only protests are in Tehran… that outside the big city people go about their daily lives. That observation, it seems to me, is overly simplistic and ignores the very real need for change in that country. When there are protests in any country, not every person in every square mile is occupied by marching, shouting slogans and holding signs. Because they aren't the week you visit can hardly be interpreted as "everything is normal otherwise". On the other hand he also said he no longer claims Iran as "home" and he was glad to be back. Go figure.

I have not yet seen the film; it is not being shown anywhere close. But, I have seen clips. Nauseating.
The barbaric practice of stoning should be abolished. Is there no way to accomplish this through the UN (I know, I know) or something?
Some of the organizations like Amnesty International or people like Mandela must have some influence with power players in these nations.
