Documentary filmmaker Kim Longinotto is known for her sensitive and compassionate treatment of difficult topics. In 1998, she and Ziba Mir-Hosseini, author of Marriage on Trial: A Study of Islamic Family Law, were granted permission to film in one Tehran divorce court over several weeks. The resulting documentary, Divorce Iranian Style, provides a window into the customs surrounding Iranian divorce—an outcome that is discouraged by the court no matter the circumstances. Alternately humorous, tragic and emotionally stirring, the film follows couples and their families as they struggle with complex domestic problems amid biased laws, contradictory administrative policies and harsh cultural restrictions.
