Thanks to recent incidents like the Arab Spring uprising and the story of Malala Yousafzai, the young Pakistani girl who became an international icon for women's rights after being shot in the head and nearly killed by Taliban members for committing the outrage of wanting to go to school, the subject of the oppression of human rights, especially women's rights, in Muslim-centered societies has garnered attention around the globe. This is the subject of "Honor Diaries," a new documentary that brings together nine women's rights advocates from those worlds to discuss what hardships and cruelties women are forced to endure,
often in the name of "honor," though their own experiences and how they can work to change things for women for the better both in their communities and in the world at large.
Now currently appearing on DIRECTV's Audience as part of its "Something to Talk About" film series, "Honor Diaries" screened this past fall as part of the Chicago International Film Festival. During that time, producer, human rights lawyer and activist Paula Kweskin sat down with me to talk about the film and the issues that it raises.
Agora atualmente aparecendo na Audiência da DIRECTV como parte de sua série de filmes estilo "algo a ser discutido", "Honor Diaries" foi exibido no outono passado, como parte do Chicago International Film Festival. Durante esse tempo, produtor, advogado de direitos humanos e ativista Paula Kweskin sentou comigo para falar sobre o filme e as questões que ele levanta.
Agora, atualmente aparecendo na audiência da DIRECTV como parte de "Algo a se falar", "Diários de Honra" colocou na tela essa queda passada do Festival Internacional de Filmes de Chicago. Durante aquela época, produtor, advogado dos direitos humanos e ativista Paula Kweskin sentou comigo para conversarmos a respeito do filme e dos problemas que ele nos traz.
ERRATA: Onde se lê "Diários de Horror" (linha 5) na verdade, o certo é "Diários de Honra".
