Just watched the the last 30-40 mins. Her escape was absolutely nerve wreaking, she's so incredibly strong. All those people that helped her escape bless every single one of them. That man that saved her and walked her thru the desert alone, such a sweetheart. I hope she life was nothing but kind, full of love, pure bliss after coming home. She deserves nothing but good.
@@Mrs.RodarteIt's on prime right now. Idk how long it will be on there. Oldie but goodie. Sally Field did her thing in this movie. My mom had us watch this on Life-time many moons ago. I'm 41. This woman is so brave. I've always wished her, her daughter, and family peace and love. No one should have to go through this. Idc where you're from. ✨🫶🏾 . Watching this so young has always taught me to never give up my passport. ( to include traveling in the world today as well). Sally Field is such a legend. She's one of my favorites actresses. This lady was so brave. ✨✨

We know that Americans and Europeans are angry because we stopped them from stealing our resources This is a propaganda film to prepare the mind of the western audience for when we are bombed So that they think they are killing a series of zombies and remain calm In my opinion, it is better to make a movie about the fate of Canadian indigenous children buried under Catholic Church schools and Western civilization built on them and call it without my all children
@@kanui27 I am an Iranian and I live in Iran right now And despite the bad atmosphere that the media created for Iran, European women still come and go to Iran with their husbands. Of course, there are not many of them and this is because of the political problems between Iran and the West. Why doesn't anyone ask them about Iran? Because this movie and other propaganda against Iran is a political project and not a reality It is simple for you to go to an airport of tourist destinations such as Thailand or Türkiye On flights coming from Iran, women travel alone in female groups without men And they go to hotels and have fun and come back home And compare that with the women of Arab countries like Saudi Arabia It is not possible to see a local Arab woman traveling without a man This is exactly what the western media is doing, replacing the Iranian woman with a Muslim Arab woman and starting to spread hatred against Iran No one cares for an Arab womanBut Iranian women are always present in the media Why is it like this because the Arabs are allies of the West and they do not stop the development of Israel and only Iran does this. Finding out the truth with the internet is a very simple task, you can ask the American TH-camrs who traveled to Iran There are women with hijab in Iran and there are women without compelet hijab, but you only see women with hijab Beti Mahmoudi's story is not pure truth and is part of the Iranophobia project

My friend in Manchester was married to a Saudi senior lecturer at Manchester University. They had 2 boys aged 9 and 7.He arranged for them to go to Saudi for 2 weeks in the long vacation to see his parents. He seemed to be completely westernised.At the last minute I persuaded her not to go.I took the boys to my sisters in Middleton ,while she waited at home in Salford,until he came back from his office at the University. She told him that only he and she were going to Saudi.He shouted at her,grabbed his suitcases and went out of the door to a waiting taxi. She and the boys went to her mother's home near by.Two weeks later she got a phone call .He said " I divorce you" three times.He added ,"I have married a second wife in Saudi,who is now my only wife" My friend found out that he had taken all their assets to Saudi,She had to go to Court to get an English Divorce and the right to sell their home.Amazingly the Court awarded him half the proceeds She had to pay off the mortgage and move in with her mother.All this happened in the 1990s and she has never heard of him from that day to this.

I can guarantee you that Betty does NOT regret escaping Iran with her daughter. She was a VERY brave lady, but she HAD to do it. Because it was the ONLY way she and her daughter were going to good out of THAT country They were being held against their will, they BOTH wanted to leave but they were NOT allowed to. It was either stay there and die, or escape/ or die trying to. Either way they were going to die. As it turned out, they succeed in escaping and they both outlived their captor. They were free and together.

I watched the movie a long time ago! I finally read Betty’s book and Mahtob’s book a few years ago! Mahtob’s book corroborated everything her mother has said! It also talks about the steps Betty had take in the US to prevent Mahtob from being kidnapped and returned to Iran! I would highly recommend both books!

This is so sad. As an American, I spent my younger years in Teheran before the revolution. It was a fantastic place, the people were so kind and nice, the food was great, and the country was beautiful. We left before the revolution, so we were lucky. It goes to show you what religion can do to a people. I would love to visit Iran again one day, but never under the present circumstances. I wish the Royal Family would be able to return to Iran and bring peace, prosperity, and kindness back to their country.
I just watched the movie about her and I have to say she is such a good mother and strong woman I don't even know how she coped living in Iran for 2 years and everything he put her through I'm so glad they got out....it's sad to think that there's other women and children being held against their will in other countries

I watch the movie about them 3 yrs ago, I cried a lot.. I had no idea it was a true story.. but I was already suspecting it was real. What happen to her is common now a days
@@lillily1 "Not without my daughter". I just watched it, it was so sad throughout the movie even though I didn't watch it from beginning. Almost cried... I went to google about it and the true story and here I found your reply to a 2 year old comment.
He was raised in his traditions, not supporting him, he did ill, but we need to understand his roots, and do not expect him to say sorry, I’m sure there’s many Iranians who’s amazing people. This whole story is crazy
She was so strong to continue to try to escape only with her daughter despite her fear and setbacks. Unfortunately Betty's story is typical for Westerners who marry Muslim men and travel to Muslim countries. They have a different culture, strict rules, and pitiful human rights. If you aren't like them, stay away.
Betty wrote a second book about helping other absent parents, whose child/children had been kidnapped , get their child/children back. One of the victims was a man, whose children were taken to Germany. The first muslim country to sign the UN declaration on children's rights was Algeria.
This movie changed the way I saw history. My summer history credits teacher showed this to us in the summer of 06’ right in the middle of the Iraq war. He said it was for a reason since we’re studying contemporary history and boy was he right. Thank you Mr. McDermott not only did you teach me about many different wars but also economics my senior year. This movie is so amazing though, everyone should watch it at least once especially since it is free, plus it has Sally Field.
So unbelievable that she was imprisoned there for a whole year in a half. I can’t even begin to imagine the daily tragedy she and her baby went through!!!!!!
A mother will fight to the death for her children! While not as hostile as an Islamic, I married a guy who ended up being in a very cult like religion and it left me homeless. Be careful who you marry! You may think you know them but you don’t.
My sister , mother and myself went to visit family in Italy , my sister 23 , fell in love with an Italian while we visited Italy , she married him and she moved to Italy.He was a smooth romantic Italian , then when things in their marriage started to sour , he beat my sister .many people said that could happen with any nationality .The problem is that , when she called the Italian police , the police took his side because she was the American . The point is like you mentioned , be careful who you marry .
@@josephforest7605true it can happen with any nationality but the most cases reported have been with women marrying Muslim men without knowing exactly the culture and thereby getting in trouble.
Wow, I just watched the movie, “not without my daughter.” And I’m shocked! I admire her and her daughter for such strong will of not staying captive and scape!❤
Always follow your instinct..no matter what it may seem that you know,think or feel..never disregard the gut feelings..it will save you from harm for sure..
I think one of the worst parts is that before they even went to Iran, Betty had secretly investigated her options. She was told that if she and Mahtob didn't go to Iran willingly, Moody might kidnap Mahtob, take her to Iran, and then divorce Betty. And if that happened, Betty would never see Mahtob again. She made the choice to go so that if the worst happened (and it did) at least she would be there with her daughter.
You didn’t go straight to Iran from the U.S. You had (and still have) to go through somewhere in Europe or Turkey. Plus, he wasn’t an American citizen. Because he was Iranian, she was Iranian by default as his wife and so was his daughter according to Iran’s laws.
There was an Indian nurse named Sushmita Banerjee, she married an Afghanistani Muslim man, and he took her to Afghanistan, after reaching there she found out that he was already married, he used to have business trips to India, but never took her to her homeland, she somehow managed to escape that hell and reached INDIA, after few years her husband again tricked her to go to Afghanistan, and she died under mysterious circumstances there. She also wrote a book about her escape "Kabuliwale Ki Bangali Biwi".
There are many difference between book and movie. You are living all emotions when reading her book. It was unbelievable. So I’m from Turkey. Turkey never been like that before.
It's already a red flag that he dated and married a former patient. To have led to this is insane. my mum was an interpreter in Turkey for ladies from UK who's kids were kidnapped and taken there by their fathers. She was on a TV show about it on itv. It can be a real danger having children with people from ethnicities and backgrounds like this. Everything is fine as long as you get along. If you step out of line you're screwed. Not disimilar to those married to cult members etc.
in the book it says just what you thought...she was terrified , at first, that the people trying to help her would rat her out but slowly she trusted more and more. She met with the kindly shop owner multiple times before actually officializing her escape plans. And also, some of the people that said they were there to help her later, along the way, i think they were called 'guides' or somethng, one robbed her and another actually tried to rape her during the night on part of their foot journey. Wow, so intense!
@@monamiri2187 Not by just one family. We do read and research. I know that there are people there, who do not surround to the terrible religoius regim, and victims themselves as well, but the current situation shows that unfortunately no positive development can be seen.
As an Iraqian I love American for helping us with war. We iraqian don’t hate Iranian but we never understood why the Iranian wanted war with us. Because of that thanks to American they helped us ❤❤❤❤
I saw this movie when I was a little girl and it stuck with me forever tbh now I have a daughter of my own and it’s even more fucking amazing that she made it
For those that believed that the men in the movie, in the mountains, that helped Betty out of kindness, think again. Those were human smugglers. Many people used them to escape Iran from 1979 onwards, and not all of them got out alive. They were paid. I know this story as I knew Betty's friend and learned of Betty's escape and her book that she was just about to release in 1990. Her friend became a TV journalist in Tehran.
i cant imagine the relieve this woman was feeling when she finnaly knew that she andh er daughter were safe, i lived in a muslim country also for a time, as a guy tho, yet it still did serious damage to me, emotionally, and physical
Any culture that treats women differently than men is suspect. Genesis 3:15 - And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
Apparently for his portrayal of Mahmoody in not without my daughter Alfred molina was assaulted after being mistaken for Mahmoody. For those who don’t know who Alfred molina is he played doctor octopus in Spider-Man 2
I read that in Wikipedia. That's a fascinating story, but disgusting due to the other person's behaviour. People meaning well but act idiotically are the most dangerous.
Because to them America is the great Satan we are the infidel to them. People really don't understand the islamic countries hatred for the west and America
I was married to an Iranian for 14 years. He was not like this guy but a big flirt with other women. I had enough. Divorced him.by the way I never wanted to go to Iran for any visits with his family!
Her Escape plan with her daughter from Iran. They made it U.S. Embassy in Turkey. Back to America. I’m so proud of Betty and Mahtob. 🥲 Betty has divorced evil ex Iranian husband in 1989. 🇺🇸
My girlfriend was dating a Turkish guy in the 90’s. After reading Not without my daughter she got so scared, broke up with him and reconnected with her ex boyfriend…
Although turkey was the country where she was safe and went home from there 😂 the film was endet when she arrived in turkey so... what could that mean? 👀
Lena knowledge seeker NOT TRUE!! Muslims are allowed to lie if they believe the outcome is justified!!! Ive studied the Hadith and The Quran. You are wrong Lena
I'm happy she was able to leave Iran and made it safely this story touched my heart and I'm happy they caught that man who murdered his teen daughters he was from Egypt he had been on the run for 12 years this why I pay attention to laws and warnings of other countries glad people helped her escape
The fact that men actually help these women makes me know; we are good it's just not all good is instantly visible, and some people can never be saved from being awful.
Was she able to make it back in time to say goodbye to her daddy? I hope so cause I can only imagine how her parents must’ve felt their daughter and granddaughter trapped there.
she did not have a choice. He could have kidnapped her daughter and take her to Iran without her. She did get legal counsel before going and found that she could not do anything to protect her daughter from the father
Betty gave her daughter the biggest gift - her love, her freedom, and to live a own life as a woman without beeing forced in a ugly forced child marriage, honour killing, without any own rights to do and to choose her own style of working, living, clothing - what danger it is for a woman to choose her own way in iran in 2022 shows the example of a young woman - who was murdered a few days ago because she did not wear her tschador "correktly" , she dared to leave a few hairs open under her cover.....beaten to death from iranian police.....can anyone tell me that this is "normal" in any way? Betty took a big risk and I believe without any help she would not have made it back to USA at all
trulyamiracleshe escaped …this would not havebeepossible without gods help ant imagine going through something like that this must have taken a great deal of will power
I'm about half way through the book and IDK what she was thinking either. She has a huge part in all of this, marrying this joker in the first place and then going against her own gut feeling and allowing it to happen. Granted, she paid a huge price in getting herself out after months of living like a prisoner. I wouldn't set foot in Iran for anything, let alone during a time like the early 80s with all that crap going on.
@@ih82r8 she shdnt have married a Muslim. Its a different culture where women to obey completely their husbands. So he did nothing wrong. Its his culture.
1:44 Swearing a lie to their supposed holy book, is normal and accepted behavior in this belief. It's called Taqiyyah. Deception of non-believers of the faith and it's practices is justified.
Sad really. It originally only applied to denial of faith in order to avoid torture or execution. Which seems reasonable. But now it allows for lying to someone, under religious oath, to achieve some secular goal or forced conversion.
she's a VERY WONDERFUL lady. she gave birth to that girl and come hell or high water, mom was taking her daughter with her back to the United States of America. Where woman are treated as humans NOT objects or people to be controlled. YAY and 1 Trillion Zillion Million Billion thumbs up to Betty Mahmoody. My guess as to why she didn't go back to her Maiden name, is because she felt it was safer NOT to.

It is simple for you to go to an airport of tourist destinations such as Thailand or Türkiye On flights coming from Iran, women travel alone in female groups without men
And they go to hotels and have fun and come back home
And compare that with the women of Arab countries like Saudi Arabia
It is not possible to see a local Arab woman traveling without a man
This is exactly what the western media is doing, replacing the Iranian woman with a Muslim Arab woman and starting to spread hatred against Iran
No one cares for an Arab womanBut Iranian women are always present in the media
Why is it like this because the Arabs are allies of the West and they do not stop the development of Israel and only Iran does this.

I watch the movie about them 3 yrs ago, I cried a lot.. I had no idea it was a true story.. but I was already suspecting it was real. What happen to her is common now a days
Me too
No name what’s the name of the movie ?
@@lillily1 "Not without my daughter". I just watched it, it was so sad throughout the movie even though I didn't watch it from beginning. Almost cried... I went to google about it and the true story and here I found your reply to a 2 year old comment.
SavkE thank you I know It’s 2 years old Just saw this video lol
@@lillily1 Ik sometimes i reply to even older :)
Her ex husband is pure evil
And dead as a fuckin' doornail.
In hell, burning & rotting.
He's long dead now.
He was raised in his traditions, not supporting him, he did ill, but we need to understand his roots, and do not expect him to say sorry, I’m sure there’s many Iranians who’s amazing people. This whole story is crazy
@@greenforgood1741le problème c'est l islam
I've read Not Without My Daughter 12 times and her daughter's book twice so far. Mesmerizing!!!
I am surprised a child that young understood that they had to escape and help
Children arent idiots when the situation is hell they know it and want out
Children can sense evil on almost instinctive level.
Children are smarter than people think.
Just completed reading her book, and I highly recommend it!
She was so strong to continue to try to escape only with her daughter despite her fear and setbacks.
Unfortunately Betty's story is typical for Westerners who marry Muslim men and travel to Muslim countries.
They have a different culture, strict rules, and pitiful human rights.
If you aren't like them, stay away.
mey roc my friends mom is a white American and his dad is Jordanian, and she loves her life right now..
So true
Betty wrote a second book about helping other absent parents, whose child/children had been kidnapped , get their child/children back. One of the victims was a man, whose children were taken to Germany. The first muslim country to sign the UN declaration on children's rights was Algeria.
What you call "human rights" is humor in that culture because nobody really follows......
@@sheilanixon913what is bad about Germany
This movie changed the way I saw history. My summer history credits teacher showed this to us in the summer of 06’ right in the middle of the Iraq war. He said it was for a reason since we’re studying contemporary history and boy was he right. Thank you Mr. McDermott not only did you teach me about many different wars but also economics my senior year.
This movie is so amazing though, everyone should watch it at least once especially since it is free, plus it has Sally Field.
So unbelievable that she was imprisoned there for a whole year in a half. I can’t even begin to imagine the daily tragedy she and her baby went through!!!!!!
Mahtab was a stunning little girl. She actually reminds me of my childhood best friend, her father was from Algeria.
A mother will fight to the death for her children! While not as hostile as an Islamic, I married a guy who ended up being in a very cult like religion and it left me homeless. Be careful who you marry! You may think you know them but you don’t.
Verdade.
My sister , mother and myself went to visit family in Italy , my sister 23 , fell in love with an Italian while we visited Italy , she married him and she moved to Italy.He was a smooth romantic Italian , then when things in their marriage started to sour , he beat my sister .many people said that could happen with any nationality .The problem is that , when she called the Italian police , the police took his side because she was the American . The point is like you mentioned , be careful who you marry .
@@josephforest7605true it can happen with any nationality but the most cases reported have been with women marrying Muslim men without knowing exactly the culture and thereby getting in trouble.
"Not Without My Daughter" the movie with Sally Field is based on this story and it's REALLY good.
there is an audio book in spanish, and it's REALLY too good or much more... (to know about their story in Iran, which was a very sad but brave one!)
I JUST SAW THIS MOVIE 2022 WOW
IM GLAD THERE WERE PEOPLE THERE WHO HELPED HER! GOD BLESS PEOPLE LIKE THAT IN PLACES LIKE THAT!
Wow, I just watched the movie, “not without my daughter.” And I’m shocked! I admire her and her daughter for such strong will of not staying captive and scape!❤
The movie is heavily sanitised compared to the real story.
"Not without my daughter" movie based on this is just amazing based on the book Betty wrote....Must Watch
Always follow your instinct..no matter what it may seem that you know,think or feel..never disregard the gut feelings..it will save you from harm for sure..
I think one of the worst parts is that before they even went to Iran, Betty had secretly investigated her options. She was told that if she and Mahtob didn't go to Iran willingly, Moody might kidnap Mahtob, take her to Iran, and then divorce Betty. And if that happened, Betty would never see Mahtob again. She made the choice to go so that if the worst happened (and it did) at least she would be there with her daughter.
Between a rock and a hard place for sure. Peace be upon them
I watched the movie and read her book. It's a such incredible story!
So do I 😃😃😃😃
If I had been the ticketing agent there’s no way I’d have sold any American citizen a flight to Iran at that time.
Boa noite.Eu também não venderia,sem antes perguntar a ela se sabia tudo que poderia lhe acontecer no Irã.Deixaria ela ciente dos riscos.🤚🇧🇷
Right
You didn’t go straight to Iran from the U.S. You had (and still have) to go through somewhere in Europe or Turkey. Plus, he wasn’t an American citizen. Because he was Iranian, she was Iranian by default as his wife and so was his daughter according to Iran’s laws.
such an evil , family of evil .
thank God for protecting betty and her daughter 😢
There was an Indian nurse named Sushmita Banerjee, she married an Afghanistani Muslim man, and he took her to Afghanistan, after reaching there she found out that he was already married, he used to have business trips to India, but never took her to her homeland, she somehow managed to escape that hell and reached INDIA, after few years her husband again tricked her to go to Afghanistan, and she died under mysterious circumstances there. She also wrote a book about her escape "Kabuliwale Ki Bangali Biwi".
Hahaha that’s not a good story armpit to armpit same smell
If I was from Iran, I think the only reason I would have to stay there is to help people in similar situations as Betty’s
I just finished reading her book. Now I discovered there is also a movie. wow.
There are many difference between book and movie. You are living all emotions when reading her book. It was unbelievable. So I’m from Turkey. Turkey never been like that before.
The movie is excellent.
It's already a red flag that he dated and married a former patient. To have led to this is insane. my mum was an interpreter in Turkey for ladies from UK who's kids were kidnapped and taken there by their fathers. She was on a TV show about it on itv. It can be a real danger having children with people from ethnicities and backgrounds like this. Everything is fine as long as you get along. If you step out of line you're screwed. Not disimilar to those married to cult members etc.
She was extremely Blessed and had God watching over her that her and her daughter were not harmed in any way shape or form trying to escape
So glad to know they managed to escape safely
I would have been paranoid, thinking that the people helping were telling the husband.
in the book it says just what you thought...she was terrified , at first, that the people trying to help her would rat her out but slowly she trusted more and more. She met with the kindly shop owner multiple times before actually officializing her escape plans. And also, some of the people that said they were there to help her later, along the way, i think they were called 'guides' or somethng, one robbed her and another actually tried to rape her during the night on part of their foot journey. Wow, so intense!
I felt sorry for the people of Iran too. They only know how to hate. I’m so glad they escaped from that awful place.
Iran is great lmao
Iranian people feel sorry for a hoard of Bible basher. They don't need your sympathy.
Salty
And I’m sorry for you that you judged the entire Iranian people by just one family!
@@monamiri2187 Not by just one family. We do read and research. I know that there are people there, who do not surround to the terrible religoius regim, and victims themselves as well, but the current situation shows that unfortunately no positive development can be seen.
There are so many Betty's who got stuck.
As an Iraqian I love American for helping us with war. We iraqian don’t hate Iranian but we never understood why the Iranian wanted war with us. Because of that thanks to American they helped us ❤❤❤❤
She is such an inspiration ❤️ what they went through was awful
Ahhhh 💔💔 Arab women have to deal with this kind of men all the time .
noobien plays it’s not a completely different region it’s the same region ( Middle East ) but it’s culturally very different
I am so sorry for them!
They birth and raise them they should raise and birth better men
I saw this movie when I was a little girl and it stuck with me forever tbh now I have a daughter of my own and it’s even more fucking amazing that she made it
For those that believed that the men in the movie, in the mountains, that helped Betty out of kindness, think again. Those were human smugglers. Many people used them to escape Iran from 1979 onwards, and not all of them got out alive. They were paid. I know this story as I knew Betty's friend and learned of Betty's escape and her book that she was just about to release in 1990. Her friend became a TV journalist in Tehran.
i cant imagine the relieve this woman was feeling when she finnaly knew that she andh er daughter were safe, i lived in a muslim country also for a time, as a guy tho, yet it still did serious damage to me, emotionally, and physical
I am sorry for Muslim women living in a fear. that religion is rotten to the core.
Before the Islamic Revolution, Iran was a beautiful country to live in
I find it amazing that they even have film-making there.
every islamic country before Islamic Revolution
What caused the Islamic Revolution , I'm not familiar with it ?
@@Miss_mikala_c Fricking idiots thought that Iran is too
Westernized. They wanted to bring strict islam back. And there you go :(
@@sha11235 Actually Iran has some very good movies. There was one that I think was nominated for an Academy Award, not sure but I think it won.

Apparently for his portrayal of Mahmoody in not without my daughter Alfred molina was assaulted after being mistaken for Mahmoody. For those who don’t know who Alfred molina is he played doctor octopus in Spider-Man 2
I read that in Wikipedia. That's a fascinating story, but disgusting due to the other person's behaviour.
People meaning well but act idiotically are the most dangerous.
Burning our flag? What t he hell do they get out of that??? It's childish and stupid.
Because to them America is the great Satan we are the infidel to them. People really don't understand the islamic countries hatred for the west and America
Im glad you both got out. Thank God
I'm happy😊 for them .They made it back to the United States in one piece.
Me too. 😊🇺🇸👩👧
I was married to an Iranian for 14 years. He was not like this guy but a big flirt with other women. I had enough. Divorced him.by the way I never wanted to go to Iran for any visits with his family!

My heart goes out for this lady . She survived such horror.
I was surprised that Betty actually called Moody just after she left.
She had to give him some hope that they'd meet up. If she didn't the cops would have been out everywhere looking for them
It was part of the escape,
was a way to take some more time to get closer to the border..
She had to. It was part of the escape plan.
Her Escape plan with her daughter from Iran. They made it U.S. Embassy in Turkey. Back to America. I’m so proud of Betty and Mahtob. 🥲 Betty has divorced evil ex Iranian husband in 1989. 🇺🇸
I watched the movie many times! So sad. I'm happy they found a way back.
My girlfriend was dating a Turkish guy in the 90’s. After reading Not without my daughter she got so scared, broke up with him and reconnected with her ex boyfriend…
😢
turkey is different tho, even tho the majority of the population is muslim turkey has a secular constitution
These guys with muslim background are not to be trusted, no matter where did they come from.
very right decision. thanks God she's save now
they are the same, all of them
Although turkey was the country where she was safe and went home from there 😂 the film was endet when she arrived in turkey so... what could that mean? 👀
I find it hard to believe she was that naive about going to Iran during such a tumultuous time.
Just watched the full movie. It was too scary back then.
now watch his side of the story... th-cam.com/video/Qv2dIDPDfDg/w-d-xo.html
Back then it’s still happening
I saw the movie and omg it was amazing and shocking how women in that time lived in that kind of situation.
Unbelievable how modern and cool Iran was before 1979. They blew it big time.
Back to the stone ages, just like Afghanistan's doing this week.
just finished reading the book..too scary to be a true story
Sana, there are lots of women trapped in horrible situations. It's a true story.
You really think that things like this don’t happen? You are very naive
Because it's all lies.
Levi's Mommy Not everyone in islam are horrible people. Also kind muslims helped Betty and her daughter to escape from iran.
Its true, and her daughter has written her own book. Very interesting
Oh mannn… I am gradually falling in love with an Iranian man… but I changed my mind after watching not without my daughter. Terrifying
You made the right decision. Forget him.

I’ve seen the movie about this story a few times and it impacted me every time.
@youtubeWAcontact Betty's organisation
I'm happy she was able to leave Iran and made it safely this story touched my heart and I'm happy they caught that man who murdered his teen daughters he was from Egypt he had been on the run for 12 years this why I pay attention to laws and warnings of other countries glad people helped her escape
It was 1984 that Moody took them there. 1986 was when they escaped his wrath and that shit country. And 2009 was when Moody died and went to hell.

The fact that men actually help these women makes me know; we are good it's just not all good is instantly visible, and some people can never be saved from being awful.
I have a friend in Iran I'm currently trying to help get them out :( they are in an abusive relationship & husband threatens to kill her :(
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your friends. Can you keep us updated?
:)))))) oh my god. Write a book "Not without my Friend"
Was she able to make it back in time to say goodbye to her daddy? I hope so cause I can only imagine how her parents must’ve felt their daughter and granddaughter trapped there.
It's been a while since I've read the book but as far as I remember she made it back just before he died.
I saw this as a lifetime movie
Nice work 😊
This is the real true story about the movie "Not Without My Daughter "
I've read the book "My Name Is Mahtob" by her daughter. Very insightful.
I can't believe she went in the first place.
she did not have a choice. He could have kidnapped her daughter and take her to Iran without her. She did get legal counsel before going and found that she could not do anything to protect her daughter from the father
This story will happen in every country 😢
we watched the movie in history and seeing this i’m so shocked on how accurate it was
Why would you watch this kind of movie in history?!
Why not watch it in history?
When the truth is told, there’s no reason to be lying about it.
I am just glad they are safe now.
Mahtob is finally go see her grandpa (Betty’s dad) since he was dying
Betty gave her daughter the biggest gift - her love, her freedom, and to live a own life as a woman without beeing forced in a ugly forced child marriage, honour killing, without any own rights to do and to choose her own style of working, living, clothing - what danger it is for a woman to choose her own way in iran in 2022 shows the example of a young woman - who was murdered a few days ago because she did not wear her tschador "correktly" , she dared to leave a few hairs open under her cover.....beaten to death from iranian police.....can anyone tell me that this is "normal" in any way? Betty took a big risk and I believe without any help she would not have made it back to USA at all
Wooow! What an ordeal for this woman. Thank the Lord her faith kept her going.
I hope she lied about the style of shop cuz I would not want the nice ppl who help her to not help other ppl
trulyamiracleshe escaped …this would not havebeepossible without gods help ant imagine going through something like that this must have taken a great deal of will power
This video is no longer on your website - :-( where can I watch the full episode? thank you!
So glad they got away bless the brave mama
I have one word for my comment. FREEDOM ❤
The background music is too loud. I nearly can't understand what they are saying.
I honestly don't know what this woman was thinking going with him in the first place.
I'm about half way through the book and IDK what she was thinking either. She has a huge part in all of this, marrying this joker in the first place and then going against her own gut feeling and allowing it to happen. Granted, she paid a huge price in getting herself out after months of living like a prisoner. I wouldn't set foot in Iran for anything, let alone during a time like the early 80s with all that crap going on.
In the movie she says "Moody was so kind in America" Yeah you were protected by secular modernized law. Those didn't restrain him in Iran.

1:44 Swearing a lie to their supposed holy book, is normal and accepted behavior in this belief. It's called Taqiyyah. Deception of non-believers of the faith and it's practices is justified.
Yep. But let's pretend this poses no real threat to western societies.
Sad really. It originally only applied to denial of faith in order to avoid torture or execution. Which seems reasonable. But now it allows for lying to someone, under religious oath, to achieve some secular goal or forced conversion.
@@ih82r8 BINGO
This is happening here in the US as we speak.....smell the coffee folks!!
This is so sad.
It's very sad!
she's a VERY WONDERFUL lady. she gave birth to that girl and come hell or high water, mom was taking her daughter with her back to the United States of America. Where woman are treated as humans NOT objects or people to be controlled. YAY and 1 Trillion Zillion Million Billion thumbs up to Betty Mahmoody. My guess as to why she didn't go back to her Maiden name, is because she felt it was safer NOT to.
Her maiden name was Lover.
