Taslima Nasreen - One Woman Against Islam (1994)

Synopsis:
In Bangladesh women suffer terrible discrimination.
The female writer and activist Taslima Nasreen has been one of the very few calling for more freedom for women. Now Islamic leaders have issued a Fatwa calling for her death, and offering a large reward to whoever kills her. There have been huge demonstrations, and the Bangladeshi authorities have issued a warrant for her arrest. This comprehensive feature includes interviews with Taslima, who is in hiding, and the Bangladeshi lady Premier Begum Zia. It also includes a colourful and beautifully filmed background look at the conditions suffered by women, with interviews and case studies.
