In a world of secrecy, corruption and injustice, a single courageous voice can tell a true story that changes everything.
This is what lies at the heart of the emotionally charged experience of The Stoning Of Soraya M. Based on an incredible true story, this powerful tale of a village's persecution of an innocent woman becomes both a daring act of witness and a compelling parable about mob rule. The Stoning Of Soraya M. was a rousing runner-up to "Slumdog Millionaire" as the audience favourite at the Toronto Film Festival. Academy Award nominee Shohreh Aghdahsloo (House Of Sand And Fog) stars in the heroic role of Zahra, an Iranian woman with a burning secret. When journalist (Jim Caviezel) is stranded in her remote village, she takes a bold chance to reveal what the villagers will stop at nothing to keep hidden.
