Not Without my Daughter

"Moody" is an Iranian doctor living in America with his American wife Betty and their child Mahtob.
Wanting to see his homeland again, he convinces his wife to take a short holiday there with him and
Mahtob. Betty is reluctant, as Iran is not a pleasant place, especially if you are American and female.
Upon arrival in Iran, it appears that her worst fears are realized: Moody declares that they will be living
there from now on. Betty is determined to escape from Iran, but taking her daughter with her presents a
larger problem. Written by Murray Chapman {muzzle@cs.uq.oz.au}

1) What was Bettys motivation for escaping her husband with her daughter?

2) Is there a point when religious traditions go too far?

3) Do we have the right to say it is wrong if it goes against our moral or personal beliefs?

4) The father / husband in the film changes over time. How do you want to change in college?

5) Do you become a different person when you return home to your family and traditions?
