Didn't quite know what to expect when I sat down to watch this film. From the first scene I was mesmerized. Dr. Bouthaina Shaaban's courageous determination to obtain rights for Arab women in a male dominated country is a powerful story. This film should be offered for viewing at all high schools and colleges in this country. The students would gain so much insight into the Syrian culture. Dr. Shaaban is an inspiration. What she has accomplished is amazing. The film also captures some wonderful scenes of Damascus. The music is hauntingly beautiful. I was especially touched by Dr. Shaaban's relationship with her aging parents. Ziad Hamzeh and his crew is to be congratulated on a job well done.
