Description
Sarbjit Kaur Athwal's courageous story is one of immense bravery and fear. In 1998, her sister-in-law was murdered in an honor killing by her husband's family, sparking a nine-year fight for justice that put Sarbjit's own life at risk. The case took a dramatic turn when Sarbjit became the first person within a murderer's family to testify in open court as the prosecution's key witness. Her testimony led to the first successful prosecution of an honor killing without the body ever being found. However, her story doesn't end there - since the trial, she has faced numerous challenges, including threats to her life and the arrest of her own husband. This is a powerful and thought-provoking account of one woman's struggle for justice in the face of overwhelming opposition.
