For Your Consideration: I am Nojoom, Age 10 and Divorced

Presented by JxJ at Edlavitch DCJCC

Yemen’s submission for the 89th Academy Awards®, 2017

Amid strikingly beautiful and stark landscapes, this true story of underage marriage reflects the painful reality of Yemeni tribal culture and the vulnerability of girls. Forced by her father to marry a man three times her age, Nojoom escapes her family and files for divorce in court. Wiser than her years, she has unshakeable resolve.
