	deseretnews.com - Movie review: Not Without My Daughter \| Deseret Morning News Web edition
		Based on Betty Mahmoody's book about her own experiences, "Not Without My Daughter" logically and gradually progresses from a benign beginning to a series of gripping events and is never hampered by what everyone in the audience knows is the obvious ending.
		So, when he coaxes his wife to take the trip, Betty caves in, though she has obvious reservations it is 1984, shortly after the fall of the shah and the rise of the Ayatollah Khomeini, and there's hardly a more volatile country on the map.
		Though the story is naturally tilted toward Betty Mahmoody's point of view, director Brian Gilbert and screenwriter David W. Rintels manage to include a large amount of detail about the lifestyle of Iranian citizens and explore some of the passion behind their customs, which, of course, seem quite repressive to Western audiences.

		Betty realises that her fight, her experience can help others and that she is not alone in being kidnapped and forced to accept a patriarchal system.
		However, I will give Betty the credit for not being as racist towards Iranians as she was in her first book, not withught my daughter, like when she does tell her daughter that she should be proud to be Iranian and American, and tells her to celebrate the Persian New Year.
		If betty was treated harshly in Iran, I'm sorry, but the way she recounts her stories from both books seems biased, and we need to hear both sides from the story.

		Betty's book and movie then seemed to me to be nothing more than a woman's problem in just one more marriage that shouldn't have been.

	"Not Without My Daughter" / a review from Christian Spotlight on the Movies
		This dramatization of Betty Mahmoody’s struggle to escape Iran with her daughter is very worthwhile.
		As the film opens in 1984, Betty (Sally Field) is happily married to “Moody,” an Iranian-American physician, and living in Michigan with him and their young daughter Mahtob (Sheila Rosenthal).
		He finally consents and also talks Betty into the trip, swearing to her on the Koran that they’ll only be there for two weeks and there’ll be no danger.

	Not Without My Daughter (1991) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		In 1984, Betty Mahmoody's husband took his wife and daughter to meet his family in Iran.
		In my opinion, much of the reason for the movie and the book (which I agree is much better based on thoroughness alone) is that she is telling her story as a warning to other wives who may find themselves in a similar situation to not put herself and child(ren) at that risk.
		Also, I was born and raised in one of the small towns in Michigan where Betty lived, and worked for a year in one of the other small cities where she lived.

		Again, nothing against betty, but what she enlisted in her book is not true..
		The same way Betty had to deal with her husband and her family while in Iran, I am dealing with it right here.
		Just as an aside, it's quite interesting how Betty, myself and 3 ex-spouses are all from the midwest; Michigan, Wisconsin, Indiana, and although not midwest, rural Texas.
