Submission: Part I (2004 TV Short)
10/10
Not to be misinterpreted
9 December 2004
Warning: Spoilers
A woman suffers. She thinks it is because of the way her husband interprets the Koran. Allah remains silent, as grave she longs for.

This very short movie was made to promote discussions on how some Moslim women are treated as a result of certain phrases in the Koran that some people interpret as the justification for inequality between men and women.

If you think that through fruitful discussions and or actions you can help improve the situation of women in similar situations, go watch this movie. You will realize it is not against Islam but that it is a strong protest against real suffering of some women.

If on the other hand you believe that every single Moslim is a saint, that legal systems ans prisons are not required in Moslims countries, and that suggesting that some Moslim men mistreat their partners is a lie and an insult to Allah, then please don't watch this movie. It may motivate you to resort to violence. That was never the intention of this movie (or religions for that matter).
