SYNOPSIS:
Based on an incredible true story, THE STONING OF SORAYA M was inspired by Paris-based journalist Freidoune Sahebjam’s acclaimed international best-seller of the same name, which, rife with intrigue and moral outrage, first brought global attention to the story of Soraya, who in 1986 was buried to her waist in her hometown square and stoned to death by her fellow villagers. Starring Jim Caviezel, Mozhan Marno, and Academy Award nominee Shohreh Aghdashloo in the heroic role of Zahra, an Iranian woman who risks everything to use the only weapon she has left – her fearless, passionate voice that can share Soraya’s story with a shocked world -- this powerful tale of a village’s persecution of an innocent woman becomes both a classic fable of good and evil and an inspiring tribute to the many fighting against injustice all around the world.
