The Price of Honor

Brace yourself, this is a tough and incredibly difficult film to view.

You'll find yourself enraged, engulfed in absolute terror, and feelings of absolute chaos at the hands of an irredeemable murderer of a father and what can only be described as an ignorant, stupid and completely narcissistic mother.

If not for the complete and utter betrayal of a mother who could only see her own wants and supposed needs, her daughters are still here- I cannot express enough how much seething anger I feel for this complete waste of a human being.

Within ten minutes you will know the final outcome and it feels as if you're watching a D-level made for TV movie, instead of a true story that has us still looking for this monster of a man and for some ungodly reason, the facilitator in their mother who is not being held accountable for her part in their deaths and is residing with the family of the murderer who has still avoided capture.

It was tough to watch this film but it is a story still happening around the globe, and within the US with shocking regularity. A bit more into the sister would have been good as well as the psychotic mother and incredible denial.

Now that Yaser Said, Islam Said and the girls' uncle have been convicted, I hope a more detailed documentary is produced. It should more explicitly cover how the girls' mom and the local authorities also failed them.

I agree with others who have stated that the storytelling is a bit all over the place. I think it's partly because the Irving Police Department and other local authorities were unwilling to talk. The documentary also primarily tells Amina's story and not Sarah's. However, I'm glad someone had the courage to take the time to tell the story of what happened. There's just so much more that needs to be examined and exposed.

I don't disagree with many of the other reviewers who are critical of how the film was put together, or how much time it spent with one sister as opposed to the other, or some other storyline/technical aspects of it. I wonder if, to some extent, they were limited in who they could talk to or who would talk to them (for example, did Sara have a boyfriend/boyfriend's family who would talk? Were there people who were "close" enough to Yeser and its herd to provide more info?) Having said that, when I finished watching this movie, I saw the sperm donor ("father" if we were talking about a human) and womb provider ("mother" with the previous caveat) as unmitigated evil and off-the-chart stupidity, respectively. I felt for the friends and relatives of the girls, and grieved for them and the girls. To that extent, this movie was an overwhelming success, and worth the 9 I gave it.

I was aware Yaser and accomplices were recently captured. Thankful TX is a death penalty state.

What's the 'mother' doing at there funeral why wasn't she arrested. It's not an excuse but it was made clear nothing to do with F'n religion. Normally, sick people you can be for sure told they were 'religious. Huge amount more people have been murdered in the name of their 'god' then any other reason. These people can't even use that failsafe excuse. If that brainless Blob 'mother' still around telling her to stick her boohoo tissue down her throat and choke on it. It's useless to keep watching this. You can be sure they'll squish this into and under religious protection. 'Oh they believe in God! They can do whatever they want'

I remember seeing this on the news and finding it so shocking. But then to watch this documentary shows truly how horrific and shocking it was. It feels made up because it's so hard to believe but unfortunately that's not the case. I also agree with other viewers that Sarah wasn't spoken about enough, but the documentary was short, gripping And informative.
