The film explains in great detail how Sharia law works and what influence it has on the lives of women in Arab countries. Kholoud’s courage gives women the chance to have a woman defend their case, which makes a big difference when it comes to cases of domestic violence. But can she maintain her position when a change of guard comes? Director Erika Cohn was teaching and supporting NGOs in Israel and Palestine when she first met Kholoud. Her second feature film was created through unrivaled access to the local court. This critical cinematographic look at an unknown world shows an outdated Sharia that urgently needs to take a fresh look at the present.
