The Stoning of Soraya M Film Trailer HD - (Persian: .سنگسار ثريا م) is a 2009 drama film adapted from French-Iranian journalist Freidoune Sahebjam\'s 1994 novel of the same name. The film is directed by Cyrus Nowrasteh and stars Academy Award nominee Shohreh Aghdashloo, as well as James Caviezel and Mozhan Marnò. Stranded in a remote Iranian village, Sahebjam is approached by Zahra, a woman with a harrowing tale to tell about her niece, Soraya, and the bloody circumstances of her death the day before. Her story exposes the dark power of mob rule, uncivil law, and the lack of rights for women. Her last and only hope for justice lies in the hands of the journalist who must escape with the story—and his life—in order to communicate the violence to the world. Because of its highly critical attitude toward the Iranian legal system, the novel The Stoning of Soraya M was banned in Iran. Based on an incredible true story, this powerful tale of a villages persecution of an innocent woman becomes both a daring act of witness and a compelling parable about mob rule. Who will join forces with the plot against her, who will surrender to the mob, and who will dare to stand up for whats right. It is both a classic fable of good and evil and an inspiring tribute to the many fighting against injustice around the world.
