FYC FYC (FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom the producer of \"The Passion of the Christ\" comes a gripping true story brought to life on screen. Academy Award® nominee Shohreh Aghdashloo stars as Zahra, a woman harboring a haunting secret. When a journalist (Jim Caviezel) becomes stranded in her remote village, Zahra seizes a risky opportunity to expose a dark truth hidden by the villagers. Thus unfolds the tale of Soraya (Mozhan Marnò), a gentle woman whose cruel husband fabricates accusations of infidelity against her, leading to an unthinkable punishment.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs Soraya and Zahra navigate the web of deceit spun by the villagers, their journey to prove Soraya's innocence becomes increasingly perilous. When conventional methods fail, Zahra must summon courage to use her voice—the only weapon left—to share Soraya's harrowing story with the world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"The Stoning of Soraya M.\" delves deep into a poignant message, shedding light on a grave cultural injustice. Based on the internationally bestselling non-fiction book by Iranian journalist Freidoune Sahebjam, the film captures Sahebjam's encounter in 1986 with Zahra (portrayed by Shohreh Aghdashloo), who implores him to expose the tragic fate of her niece, Soraya. Soraya's plight stems from false accusations orchestrated by her abusive husband, Ali, with the complicity of village elders, culminating in a sentence of death by stoning.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDirected by Cyrus Nowrasteh and guided by producer Steven McEveety, known for his work on \"The Passion of the Christ,\" the film emphasizes the injustice of Soraya's plight, where an innocent individual suffers for the sins of others. While the narrative is compelling, the film could evoke more empathy and outrage if the characters were more vividly portrayed, akin to powerful character-driven films like \"Silkwood.\" The cast, including Jim Caviezel in a notable performance, brings conviction to their roles, yet the story might have benefited from a documentary approach exploring the broader context of honor killings, their legal ramifications, and political implications.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor DVD Player (North American NTSC)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Lionsgate","offers":[{"title":"Used In Sleeve","offer_id":48776678736150,"sku":"103225","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0083\/0377\/1710\/files\/20247320829403scan.jpg?v=1720136208","url":"https:\/\/www.neverdiemedia.com\/products\/the-stoning-of-soraya-m-fyc","provider":"NeverDieMedia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
