(Doc., Long version: 85 min.; Short version: 58 min., DVD/DV cam, color, 2009)
  • Written, directed and produced by: Lipika Pelham
  • Language: Arabic, Hebrew and English, with English or French Subtitles

Synopsis

Narrated by a 15-year old girl, Salma, based on a real life survivor of honour killing, 'Deadly Honour' documents multiple murders and attempted murders of young women in the Israeli city of Ramle. Juarish is a closed neighborhood in Ramle where young girls grow up in fear anticipating their turn to face the killers. This fear is sealed with a code of silence – no one talks about the murders, no one goes to court. But the status quo changed one day when the body of a murdered woman was found in a disused well in the forest.
