My Mother’s Daughter (2007)

 When Yvonne Ridley was released after being held captive by the Taliban, her Christian mother Joyce rejoiced in the belief that the power of prayer saved her. Imagine her consternation when two years later, her daughter converted to Islam- the religion of her former captors.

This film explores with passion and humour the stresses this decision has placed on their close relationship. We see as they move through confrontation, misunderstanding, feelings of loss and fear, towards a mutual toleration; an abiding mother daughter bond holds them together.
