The film blends:

Khadija Al-Salami, the director, experienced a similar fate: she was married against her will at age 11. This personal connection gives the film an authenticity that pure journalism cannot achieve.

Because of Nujood Ali:

The film extended this impact to international audiences, winning the Human Rights Award at the Abu Dhabi Film Festival.

Before you watch the movie, you must understand the real child behind the title. In 2008, a ten-year-old girl named Nujood Ali walked alone into a courthouse in Sana'a, Yemen. She had been forced by her father to marry a man three times her age. The marriage was consummated to devastating effect.

Nujood escaped her husband’s home, took a taxi, and walked into the court of Judge Mohammed Al-Qadhi. Her famous words were simple: "I want a divorce."

Her bravery ignited a global movement. With the help of a young lawyer named Shada Nasser, Nujood became the youngest divorcee in the world. Her memoir, "I Am Nujood, Age 10 and Divorced," became an international bestseller. The film is the cinematic adaptation of that memoir.
