Mahmoody is telling the truth. I know him personally. He was my mom's colleague in a hospital in Iran. Not without my daughter is a part of a propaganda. I have two reasons: -Compare this movie with those produced before the Islamic revolution about Iran and Iranians. You can see the contrast between this and those. The image of the Iranian man/woman in this one is the opposite side of those. Howcome Iranians became such brutal people in a decade? -If u see the real Dr. Mahmoody, even in this documentary, it is totally different than what Betty showed in hers. The real Mahmoody is a little guy which is not tough at all. When u make a movie based on a true story, you have to simulate things as much as possible close to reality. In my opinion, the actor used in the movie to play Dr. Mahmoody's rule, was chosen on purpose ti make the whole thing more acceptable. Because a Mahmoody like the real one cannot scare the audience that much. -Other than all those things, I bet a lot of you guys have Iranian neighbours (especially in US). Do u really find all of those close to how Betty wants you to see them?
