      abstract = {In some areas of North Africa, the Middle East and Asia,  honor is deemed of such importance that a father, a brother  or a cousin is entitled by tribal custom to kill a woman,  often a young girl, who is suspected of having sullied the  family moral standard. Legislation now exists in countries  such as Egypt and Jordan prohibiting such "honor killings"  but the incidents of this practice do continue, rarely  acknowledged openly. This film documents two cases in  Palestinian villages. A nineteen-year-old girl attempted to  return to her family which had cast her out in disgrace.  Her death was announced publicly. One young, pregnant  single girl was kept in prison to protect her from her  family. After giving birth, she was spirited to the West  Bank where she was given a new identity. While the  traditional tacit acceptance of "honor killings" is now  challenged by human rights and women's rights groups, in  instances like the ones depicted in the film, they have not  intervened.},
