From the filmmakers who produced "The Passion of the Christ," THE STONING OF SORAYA M. is the heart-rending film based on the International best-selling book by French-Iranian journalist Freidoune Sahebjam which stars Jim Caviezel (THE PASSION OF THE CHRIST, DÉJÀ VU, THE THIN RED LINE), Oscar® nominee Shohreh Aghdashloo (THE NATIVITY STORY, HOUSE OF SAND AND FOG), and Mozhan Marnò (CHARLIE WILSON'S WAR) as Soraya. Based on a true story, the film was the runner up for the Audience Award at the Toronto 2008 Film Festival, with SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE taking first place.

When a journalist (Jim Caviezel) is stranded in a remote village, a woman named Zahra (Shohreh Aghdashloo) defies the leaders and takes a bold chance to reveal what the villagers will stop at nothing to keep hidden. Thus begins the remarkable account of what happened to Soraya (Mozhan Marnò), a kind, spirited, and honorable woman whose bad marriage leads her cruel, divorce-seeking husband to conspire against her, trumping up charges of infidelity, which carry an unimaginable penalty. Moving through a minefield of scheming, lies and deceit, Soraya and Zahra will attempt to prove Soraya's innocence in a legal system stacked against her. But when all else fails, Zahra will risk everything to use the sole weapon she has left – her fearless, passionate voice that can share Soraya's story with a shocked world.
