cultureID is pleased to support the International Documentary Association's 14th annual DocuWeeks™ with a ticket raffle for "Quest for Honor: Stop The Killings Now," a Sundance Festival's 2009 Selected Film.
The film, by Mary Ann Smothers Bruni, focuses on the "narrative of women struggling with Iraqi Kurdistan's worst nightmare--the horror of honor killings and the related practices of trading and selling women." The 67 minute documentary will be screening at the IFC (Independent Film Channel) Center in Manhattan from Friday, August 6th through Thursday August 12th.
"The alarming rise in "honor killing," the heinous act of men killing daughters, sisters and wives who threaten "family honor," endangers tens of thousands of women in Iraq, Turkey, Jordan and adjoining countries. The Women’s Media Center of Suleymaniyah, Iraq, has joined forces with Iraq’s Kurdish Regional Government (KRG) to end this practice. Quest for Honor follows Runak Faranj, a former teacher and tireless activist, as she works with local lawmen, journalists and members of the KRG to solve the murder of a widowed young mother, protect the victim of a safe-house shooting, eradicate honor killing and redefine honor." - IFC Center
