Inocent 16 years old girl plus nine other women were executed just because of having different faith and religion from other Iranians. I am positive that a lot of Iranians even don't know about this. By making this movie I do hope good hearted Iranians to be aware that the cruelty was there almost for all kind of different people and ages, even 16 years old girl who is know a symbol for many good people.<br>Thanks, Danesh This is so important that whole world to know about this incident which happened after Iran's revolution.

But on the other hand, Hollywood is notorious for being a black hole for such worthy projects.
