'Dying to Divorce' devastated me. I lost any chance at alpha male status when I cried. I'm disturbed that I'm the first person to post a review. 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 Chloƫ 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 and became the UK's submission to the Academy Awards.
