Documentary Films - Competition 2010 / Przyrzeczona / Poland 2010
Permeated by an atmosphere of disquiet, Polish director Lesław Dobrucki’s inventively-edited documentary focuses on a Turkish girl who, at the bidding of her family, was forced to marry in Germany at age 13. She barely managed to escape being beaten to death by her brutal husband.
Estimates indicate that in Germany each year dozens of Turkish girls and women are beaten to death by their husbands or family members. The protagonist of Polish director Lesław Dobrucki’s inventively-edited documentary barely escaped the same fate. At her family’s bidding, she was forced to marry in Germany at age 13. She managed to escape from her husband after a series of brutal attacks, and now she is in hiding both from the tyrannical man as well as from her family whom, according to traditional Turkish "family values,” she dishonored by running away.
