This film told the remarkable story of a very courageous young woman who survived an attempt at an “honor killing” by her father and uncle. And yet even more remarkable was after the initial screening, Prime Minister Sharif pledged to change laws that allow such barbaric practices and murders – and that is a sign of how a great work of cinema can shine light on a subject, on real-world challenges, and it can actually promote positive change.
Kwani kuna tatizo gani kama waziri Mkuu akifanya uchunguzi kwa kutumia mamlaka aliyonayo kupitia vyombo mbalimbali na kwa kufuata taratibu bila kumvunjia mtu heshima na mwisho akachukua hatua kwa kumwajibisha mhusika kwa utaratibu wa kisheria ikiwa imethibitika kweli mtu huyo katenda kosa? Ikumbukwe kwamba kuna kanuni ya kwamba kila mtu anachukuliwa kuwa hajatenda kosa mpaka hapo itakapothibitika vinginevyo: "the innocence principle as per our Constitution" Inakuwaje Waziri Mkuu alyeapa kuilinda katiba yetu amekuwa kinara wa kukiuka sana takwa hili la kikatiba?
