Maria's Grotto

A Documentary About Honor Killings In Palestine Filmed in 2007. 48 min.

A gripping portrait of women, whose lives were dictated by a moral code,
Maria's Grotto explores honor killings in Palestine through the stories of
four women: one is wrongly accused of dishonoring her family and then
murdered. the second dies after being forced by her brothers to swallow
poison. the third survives repeated stabbings inflicted by her brother. and
the fourth is a Hip-hop singer who dares speak out about honor killings,
and faces death threats.
