In the Name of the Family

A hard-hitting look at the rise of "honor killings" among immigrant families in North America, this unsettling documentary profiles the senseless deaths of several teenage girls, who tragically perished at the hands of their own family members. With a passion for exploring human rights issues, filmmaker Shelley Saywell showcases powerful interviews with relatives, friends and other young women facing similar fears in their homes.
