Tagline: In 1984, Betty Mahmoody's husband took his wife and daughter to meet his family in Iran. He swore they would be safe. They would be happy. They would be free to leave. He lied.
Plot: The true story of Betty Mahmoody, an American housewife who was trapped with her daughter in Iran during a visit to her husband's family in 1984. Mahmoody's husband is an Iranian doctor, seemingly Americanized after twenty years in the United States. Back in his native country, however, and under the influence of his Muslim relatives, the doctor suddenly and wholeheartedly embraces the tenets of Islamic fundamentalism. He forces his wife to wear a veil, informs her that they are never returning to the United States and threatens to kill her when she tries to escape. Stripped of her rights and her American citizenship, Mahmoody finds herself a prisoner in an alien and hostile society and must risk her life to smuggle herself and her four-year-old daughter out of Iran.
