No Burqas Behind Bars (2012) IMDb

Extent

Seen in 2013.

Commentary

The direct feminist point is surprisingly soft. Poverty and religion, two of the major causes of the sex discrimination here, are appropriately foregrounded.

Sequel:

Prison Sisters (2016) IMDb

Extent	Seen in 2018.
Subject	Sara and Najibeh’s lives upon release from prison.
Commentary	Equally depressing. Najibeh’s fate in particular is worth keeping in mind when you see a confident, sassy stereotype in a Hollywood comedy; they are not very helpful traits.
