    The Stoning is a powerful movie with the ability to shake our world into remember the dignity of the woman. Yes, at times it is graphic, but so is reality. Watch it!!

    WOW is all I have to say

    by Missmott355

    I just finished watching this film and I was blown away. The fact that this is a TRUE STORY is unfathomable. It brings awareness not only to abuse of that sort in other countries but also sheds light on the everyday abuse here in America. Whether it is verbal, emotional, what have you, it is happening in everyday homes and something must be done. A Must See!!!!!
