Murdered by My Father (2016)
Honour killings
There are approximately 2000 record cases of Honour killings in the UK and 'Murdered By My Father' attempts to shed some light on this subject.
*SPOILERS AHEAD*
Murdered By My Father is a 2016 drama initially shown online on BBC3 and later shown on BBC1. It tells a compelling story of the dangers of having a closed mind set and the extent to which a person would go to in order to fulfil a promise and keep their 'honour.'
Promised to the dull and sometimes aggressive Haroon, teenager Salma falls in love with Imi. Torn between her supposed duty of marrying Haroon and her feelings for Imi, she embarks on a secret romance with Imi which eventually ends with her demise.
Murdered By My Father depicts culture in a relatively positive and non stereotypical way although it is evident that the main topic of the film is the eventual Honour killing that ends up occurring.
Using a circular narrative in which it is a man that we see dead first, the film attempts to intrigue the audience and keep them guessing as to what is going to happen; although this is overwhelmed by the title of the film.
Murdered By My Father is very blunt in the way that it presents Honour killing which shocks the audience and shows them the reality of what a lot of young women have to go through due to faults not of their own.
