If an Arab woman has chosen to be in a romantic relationship or is suspected of having had an intimate relationship outside of marriage she is considered to have brought shame and dishonor to the entire family. This situation can only be rectified with the death of the woman. Normally, a close relative - man or woman - is in charge of murdering her and her acts will be free from all legal consequences. Odyssey presents this breathtaking documentary of its own production about this phenomenon in Palestine. Known as "honor killing", it is common in Arab society but is considered a taboo subject that is inappropriate to talk about. "Honor killings" are on the rise and are suffered by many women of different ages, economic status and religious backgrounds.
