Not Without My Daughter
In 1984, Betty Mahmoody's husband took his wife and daughter to meet his family in Iran. He swore they would be safe. They would be happy. They would be free to leave. He lied.
Tehran. Call to prayer. A child's drawing. Marital visit turns to kidnapping when an American woman is stranded in Iran by her husband. The walls close in. One mother's desperate gamble remains. A product of its time, the film still serves as a cultural flashpoint.
