Betrayed: Escape from Iraq

This is the true story of Latifa Ali, betrayed by her mother and left prisoner to her father in Kurdistan, northern Iraq. She has no allies, no liberty as a Muslim woman and no access to an embassy. As the war on terror rages around her, Latifa is at war with her culture and customs. Imprisoned, abused and violated, her efforts to escape Iraq fail and her impending forced marriage could end in her death by the ancient custom of honor killing. She has to get out. When the US military occupies Kurdistan, she has a chance to break free.
