“When We Leave”: Translating a Silent Oppression for Worldwide Audiences

Besides offering a startling window into the life of a Turkish woman who, after leaving her abusive husband with child in tow, finds no support from her family, the film [When We Leave] takes a direct look at the act of honor killings (and the invisible hardships that minorities often face and yet are underrepresented in mainstream cinema).
