Honor Diaries (2013)

Honor Diaries is a 2013 documentary film by producer Paula Kweskin. Honor Diaries explores violence against women in honor-based societies, with particular focus on female genital mutilation (FGM), honor violence and honor killings, early and forced marriage, and lack of access to education. The film profiles nine women’s rights activists with origins in the Muslim (and non-Muslim) world, and follows their efforts to affect change, both within their communities and beyond. Honor Diaries premiered at the Chicago International Film Festival in October 2013 and won the Interfaith Award for Best Documentary at the St. Louis International Film Festival in November 2013. It was featured from December 2013 through April 2014 on DirecTV’s Audience Network as part of the Something to Talk About film series. The film has also attracted criticism from Muslim and Arab rights groups for being anti-Muslim. The film is produced by Raphael Shore who has produced other films such as Obsession: Radical Islam’s War Against the West, The Third Jihad: Radical Islam’s Vision for America, and Iranium, that have also been criticized for being Islamophobic.
