    'You are here for the rest of your life. Do you understand? You are not leaving Iran. You are here until you die.'

    Betty Mahmoody and her husband, Dr Sayyed Bozorg Mahmoody ('Moody'), came to Iran from the USA to meet Moody's family. With them was their four-year-old daughter, Mahtob. Appalled by the squalor of their living conditions, horrified by what she saw of a country where women are merely chattels and Westerners are despised, Betty soon became desperate to return to the States. But Moody, and his often vicious family, had other plans. Mother and daughter became prisoners of an alien culture, hostages of an increasingly tyrannical and violent man.

    Betty began to try to arrange an escape. Evading Moody's sinister spy network, she secretly met sympathisers opposed to Khomeini's savage regime. But every scheme that was suggested to her meant leaving Mahtob behind for ever...

True, when I saw the film and the end with the American flag and "we're home" I wanted to gag. No other nation is so darn proud of itself - and without any reason... I am sorry my American friends, but it is true! However, I do know the problems with female rights in Islamic countries (would be stupid if I didn't...) and I hate that kind of culture. But Sayed Mahmoody makes an interesting case, because he DOES acknowledge the problems with female rights and seems to be all for them.
