'Dying to Divorce', a culture of misogyny
Women beaten and shot, not loved. A documentary about women suffering horrific violence in Turkey.
'Dying to Divorce' devastated me. I lost any chance at alpha male status when I cried. I was further disturbed by being the first to care enough to post a review on IMDB. I wish that a thousand people had been compelled to write before me.
Beaten or shot, Turkish women face an uphill battle against a misogynist legal system. Director Chloë Fairweather follows the cases of Arzu and Kubra, two women represented by the We Will Stop Femicide Platform and the extremely brave activist lawyer, Ipek Bozkurt.
'Dying to Divorce' took 5 years to make. Fairweather and her team's effort won a BAFTA.
