I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Honor Diaries (2013) is a documentary directed by Micah Smith. The footage was shot during a two-day session that brought together nine active feminists from around the world. They are human rights leaders, and they are horrified by the terrible discrimination faced by women in the Muslim world.In countries with a strongly theocratic and patriarchal social system, women must dress in a certain way and act in a certain way. If there is even a hint of a threat to the family's honor, they are subject to brutal--and sometimes fatal--punishment. The activists also discussed the horrible problem of female genital mutilation.The biggest message that I received from this film is that we are betraying women in those societies by keeping silent. Of course, if you speak out against these practices, you are accused of being an Islamophobe, and of trying to impose your values on another society. The women in the film say that turning away from the horrors imposed on women in those societies is easy. Taking a position that this is a human rights issue is much harder. Still, taking a stand is what they are calling on us to do.This film is shocking when we learn about the horrors heaped upon the women in those societies. There is a hopeful note--although not a strong one--that there is a possibility of change if enough voices are raised against these human rights violations. At least, we can keep these brutal customs out of the U.S., Canada, and England.This is an excellent film, and worth seeking out. We saw it in the wonderful Dryden Theatre of the George Eastman Museum in Rochester, NY. It will work just as well on the small screen. Honor Diaries was shown as part of Rochester's High Falls Film Festival.P.S. I don't know why the movie is called "Honor Diaries," because no diary was involved. Of course, one of the most horrific human rights violations is "honor killings." However, the human rights activists explored many other topics as well. However, the title really isn't important. This is an important movie, and definitely worth seeing.

This is a very powerful film that embraces the union of women no matter what background they come from to fight against honor violence.I was a little bit disappointed that the film is only an hour long. It's definitely very informative and entertaining but I was left wanting more and I think the film deserves to be longer.Quality is great and script was well put together. If you have no idea what "honor violence" is you will after you watch it. I loved absolutely every single activist in the film being Raquel Saraswati my favorite and I was left with this feeling of wanting to help and do more for this cause that has become a global issue.I would definitely recommend this film to anybody.
