"The Stoning of Soraya M." is banned in Iran, just released in America, and soon to be distributed in the Middle East. Based on a true story, it portrays a young Iranian mother who's framed by her husband and stoned to death by her village.
Among the mob is one voice of moral courage: Soraya's aunt, Zahra, played by award-winning Iranian actress Shohreh Aghdashloo (co-star of "House of Sand and Fog"). A faithful Muslim, Zahra speaks truth to power and tries to stop the stoning. She fails.
