[edit] Information

The film reveals how she was threatened after falling in love with another man after walking out of an abusive forced marriage. Her father and uncle were both jailed for life in 2007 for their roles in her murder and two cousins were eventually extradited from Iraq and jailed for carrying out her killing. The film is the result of painstaking research working closely with Banaz' sister Bekhal and the Metropolitan Police officer who worked on the case. Both Bekhal and Banaz' boyfriend Rahmat have had to go into hiding as a result of their involvement in the police investigation and trial. The murder of Banaz in January 2006 revealed the lack of support available to victims of honour-based violence in the UK. Produced by Fuuse Media.
