The Stoning of Soraya M.

If The Passion of the Christ re-ignited your passion for religion, The Stoning of Soraya M. will elicit your compassion for the victims of those who twist religion for less noble purposes.

The Stoning of Soraya M.

The gallant, educated, and sensitive outsider, will do right by Soraya, unlike the loathsome, fearful, and petty neighbors who killed her.
