Submission (Part 1) - Theo van Gogh and Ayaan Hirsi Ali - This is a ten minute film about abuse of women in muslim society. Ayaan Hirsi Ali (author of "Infidel") grew up in Somalia, Saudi Arabia, Ethiopia, and Kenya, and eventually went to Holland as a refugee. She ended up being a member of parliament there, and scripted this movie as part of her activism for raising consciousness about the lives of women in Islamic countries. Theo van Gogh, an always controversial Dutch filmmaker, was murdered in the street in Amsterdam by an offended muslim for making this.
