Wiki.
Without My Daughter (2002, Finland) is a 90-minute documentary directed by Kari Tervo and Alexis Kouros. It was created by Dr. Sayyed "Moody" Bozorg Mahmoody to contest many of the claims made by his wife in Not Without My Daughter.
In 1987, "Not Without my Daughter" was published, based on the story of an American woman, Betty Mahmoody. According to the book, Mahmoody and her daughter, Mahtob, were taken by her Iranian husband, Sayyed Bozorg Mahmoody, for a "two-week holiday" to Iran, and he kept them there against their will. She managed to escape 18 months later over the mountains into Turkey, taking their 5-year-old daughter with her back to the United States. In 1991, Not Without My Daughter, a film starring Sally Field and Alfred Molina, was released, based on the events described in her book.
