"On July 22nd 2012 in Aguelhok, a small town in Northern Mali, a young couple living in perfect happiness with their two children was stoned to death. The crime they committed: not being married before God. Aguelhok is neither Damascus nor Teheran. And in no way am I looking to over-emotionalize these events for the purposes of a moving film. What I do want to do is bear witness as a filmmaker. Because I will never be able to say I didn’t know. And because of what I know now, I must tell this story -- in the hope that no child may ever have to learn this same lesson in the future. That their parents could die, simply because they love each other."--Container.
