THE BURDEN OF VIRGINITY

Before a wedding, the bride's virginity must be verified. Whoever fails to pass this "verification test" is sent back to her parents' home. Umida Akhmedova – Uzbekistan’s first camerawoman – was tried and sentenced for "defamation and slander of the Uzbek nation and its traditions" for this keenly observed documentary film.
