Thus begins the story of Soraya (Mozhan Marnò), a kind woman whose cruel, divorce-seeking husband trumps up false charges of infidelity against her, which carry an unimaginable penalty.

But when all else fails, Zahra must risk everything to use the only weapon she has left - her voice - to share Soraya's shocking story with the world

The cover looks meh to me - doesn't grab my eye...
My god... that's one explicit cover. I really think the image works-- it will get a lot of people renting this because they feel bad for said Soraya M., and want to hear her story-- but the fonts are really atrocious. The blood-spattered title is extremely tacky, and the quotes' font look like they could be put on a Reese Witherspoon rom-com DVD cover.
"From A producer of Passion of the Christ"? That's like saying from a keygrip on XXX movie. Who cares?
I heard this was very good.
That would be a pretty good cover without the quotes and 300 style blood-spattered title.
