A REALLY AWESOME MOVIE. it is the perfect remedy for the pervasive anti-muslim sentiment that is so often the lens through which people in america are exposed to islamic cultures.
(do not read the material below if you are worried about having the plot spoiled).
Forbidden Lies is documentary about a writer, Norma Khouri, who fabricated a story about an honor killing in Jordan. the movie delves into a labyrinth of lies as the filmmakers try to uncover the identity of the supposed victim of the honor killing in khouri's novel forbidden love. in addition to numerous factual errors, such as that jordan borders kuwait, the audience discovers the majority of her claims in the novel are false including: all jordanian women must be escorted by men whenever outdoors, they must also wear the hijab, thousands die per year as a result of honor killings (i think the number is around 20) and the government condones such murders.
