Over two decades ago, a solitary voice dared to speak the truth.
One woman courageously defended the dignity of another.
One woman risked her life to uphold the sanctity of another’s life.
One woman vowed, “The world will know!”
On June 26 — the true story will be revealed — when The Stoning of Soraya M. is released in selected theaters across the U.S.
From the filmmakers who produced "The Passion of the Christ," THE STONING OF SORAYA M. is the heart-rending film based on the International best-selling book by French-Iranian journalist Freidoune Sahebjam which stars Jim Caviezel, Oscar® nominee Shohreh Aghdashloo, and Mozhan Marnò as Soraya.
Do you have the courage to Be Her Voice?
This true story is a powerful account of the persecution of an innocent woman and another woman’s courageous witness to the truth.
All too often people are stripped of their human dignity — whether it is the neglect of the old and infirmed; the exploitation of the young; an entire people in the way of economic expansion, or a lone woman in a remote Iranian village like Soraya M. — we have to tell the world that this assault on human dignity must end.
Like Zahra—Soraya’s brave aunt—we have to have the courage to speak the truth because one voice crying out for justice, one voice witnessing to the truth, one voice affirming the power of love can make all the difference in the world.
In select theaters June 26.

I doubt it will be watched in the White House.
Why would our leader be interested in what has happened in Iran?
This film is based upon a true story.

True, sadly.
“I doubt it will be watched in the White House”
Why not, it will give 0 something else to applaud with his muslim brothers.

AMERICANS FOR IRANIAN LIBERTY OF FACEBOOK
I am also promoting it on twitter.
This movie is about a true story of another tragedy where fundamental Islam brutally took an innocent woman's life...just as it took Neda Agha Soltani's life on Saturday. One day there will be a powerful movie about her as well I am sure.

I saw her in The House of Sand and Fog, the picture for which she was Oscar-nominated -- she was fantastic. Also, she played Elizabeth, the cousin of the Virgin Mary, in the recent Nativity Story film.
Thanks for pointing that out. I remember that performance. She is doing an excellent job of selecting roles and then playing them to perfection.
