Listening to the testimonies of these women is eye-opening and heartbreaking. The idea that ANY religious sect, cult, ideological group, etc., chooses to live as though it were many centuries ago is one thing. Forcing this view on the followers -women in this case- through violence and even murder is quite another story!
HONOR DIARIES tells its tale through interviews with women who've either lived through, witnessed, or known other victims. Beatings, forced pre-teen "marriage", FGM (Female Genital Mutilation), acid attacks, and brutal homicide are discussed.
These survivors are not some wild-eyed group of bitter cranks. These women are rational, sincere, and dedicated to getting their message out to a world that seems not to know or care about their plight. While their outlooks on Islam vary, they all agree that no one, especially in this "enlightened" age, should be subjected to such horrific treatment.
The controversy over this documentary is bewildering. The silence from those who would normally support such a cause is aggravating. Forget the politics and watch this with an open mind...
