How film transforms the way we see the world
Summary
In the title, the film was to be recorded about honor killing. Honor killing is an old custom that men can kill women legally when women have different thoughts to their fathers about marriage. Daughters couldn’t have their opinions but mothers and grandmothers couldn’t say anything about an evil custom: honor killing because they followed that.

The speaker made the film to help them, though, she was rejected. When she brought the film to other countries, she thought that no one would understand because people in the same country could not understand, though, little by little, small opinions started to be raised, the film received praise. It took much time, in the country, men who kill women understood that the film was important.

Mothers and grandmothers also realized that an evil custom was allowed by them. The speaker continues spreading the film. She made a system that in the very far small villages where people couldn’t arrive, people can watch it and children can learn their custom. To thrive in the country, it's important for everybody to learn history.
