Stoning Soraya has the power to change the world!
A more profound film, you'll never see.

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!
