The Stoning of Soraya M.

I have a pretty strong stomach, but I couldn't deal with the brutality.

She was set up by her husband who wanted to marry a younger (teenage) woman. When the sentence was performed, the elders made Soraya's little son fling the first stone as she was buried up to her armpits in dirt.

If reading this is harsh, watching the movie is worse. And I can't imagine how it would be in real life.
