I think her story and that movie was a big informational wake up for my generation. Many of us had no clue.

I agree about the movie. It was a HUGE wake up cry. I have another friend whose friend married an Iranian about 15 years ago or so. They had a child. He got in good with his wife's father who was a psychiatrist with NIH and a fool. The Iranian managed to convince him that his dau was unstable and split the family. He finally did something that forced him to leave the country--don't remember details. After she finally went to court for a divorce, she discovered that he had somehow reported that she had tried to committ suicide (it was a lie). He had set her up. We believe that he was going to try to get back into the country, take the child, murder her and make it look like suicide. Then she discovered he had not paid his business taxes for a long time, she was liable for them and because of a snafu of the law, he could return to this country, set up another business and not ever be responsible for those taxes. He could just start over. Unbelievable. Never, EVER EVER marry a Middle Eastern man. I wouldn't even marry a Christian from there.
