Director Cyrus Nowrasteh's movie, The Stoning of Soraya M, based on real events, wants to open eyes to a barbaric legal system that still allows stoning.

Steve McEveety is a Hollywood oddity: He's humble. I know. Weird. He identified himself as "a producer of The Passion of The Christ." But he wasn't a producer, but rather the producer.

An accurate and thoughtful film about executions in Iran would be welcome, but we will still have to wait, as the Stoning of Soraya M is not it.

The fact that stoning still occurs today is proof that too few understand its barbarity or frequency. Anyone who claims to care about the most basic of human rights, this film is a must.
