sub­mis­si­on, 11mi­nü­ti­ger kurz­film von theo van gogh.

Dutch film­ma­ker Theo van Gogh (yes, that van Gogh) was ass­as­si­na­ted No­vem­ber 2, 2004, by a 26-year-old ex­tre­mist Mus­lim of Dutch-Mo­roc­can de­s­cent. The cur­rent theo­ry is that he was ta­ken down for his cri­ti­cal look at the tre­at­ment of Mus­lim wo­men. It's not a do­cu­men­ta­ry, but a me­ta­pho­ri­cal look at the harsh rea­li­ties of their li­ves. (In Eng­lish with Dutch sub­tit­les.)
