So I had the pleasure of getting a free screening of "The Stoning of Soraya M" last night. For now, a trailer sneak-peek. Later on this weekend, I'll try and carve out some time for a recap of it. I thought there was a lot of good, a little bad, and a good bit of "challenging" in it, so there's likely to be a lot to say about this movie.
A short point to make for now is that this is probably a tough movie for church crowds, not just because of the topic but because of some moments of language in the film. I thought it more than timely that, with Derek Webb having issues over the release of his latest work because of a swear word, here's a movie with same.
The movie has a limited release (Houston's Angelika Theater among the locations) in June.

If you can read Jesus' Bible, you can watch this movie. Good vs evil, hate vs love, seeking to be yourself while others try to condemn you to being who they want you to be and who THEY are, and violence beyond imagining as they try to control God's spirit in each of us through intimidation and fear. Thank you for sharing this important story with us. Vaya con Dios!
