M avl
Starring Norma Khouri
Director Anna Broinowski
Year 2007
Genre Documentary
Synopsis AFI-winner Anna Broinowski directs this riveting documentary on Norma Khouri who won fame and fortune with her "true story" Forbidden Love, about a shocking honour killing in Jordan, until July 2004, when Sydney Morning Herald journalist Malcolm Knox exposed her book as a work of fiction.
Encouraged by Broinowski, Khouri goes on a journey through every shade of grey that separates fact from fiction, weaving between the literary salons of London, the mosque-lined vistas of Jordan, the beachside suburbs of Queensland and the seamy Chicago backstreets of her dubious past. But the most compelling character of all is Norma. You won't believe it until you've seen it.
