• The Stoning of Soraya M.

  Something new on Netflix's Instant Play - The Stoning of Soraya M.

  Set in 1986 Iran at the start of Khomeini's reign, director Cyrus Nowrasteh's drama tells the true story of Soraya (Mozhan Marnò), whose husband plots to have her falsely accused of adultery so he can divorce her and marry a young girl. French journalist Freidoune (Jim Caviezel) is pulled into Soraya's tragic story when he meets a desperate woman named Zahra (Shohreh Aghdashloo).

  This is heartbreaking, chilling, and a must-watch.
