In June 2002, journalists throughout the world began to hear of the gang rape of a Pakistani woman from the impoverished village of Meerwala. The rape was ordered by a local clan known as the Mastoi and was arranged as punishment for indiscretions allegedly committed by the woman's brother. While certainly not the first account of a female body being negotiated for honor in a family, and (sadly) not the last, journalists and activists were captivated. This time the survivor had chosen to fight back, and in doing so, single-handedly changed the feminist movement in Pakistan. Her name was Mukhtar Mai, and her decision to stand up to her accusers was an act of bravery unheard of in one of the world's most adverse climates for women. By July 2002, Mai's case was headline news in Pakistan and under international scrutiny, the government awarded her the equivalent of 8,500 U.S. dollars in compensation money (a historic settlement), and her attackers were sentenced to death. Mukhtar Mai went on to open a school for girls in an effort to ensure that future generations would not suffer, as she had, from illiteracy. In this rousing account, Mai describes her experience and how she has since become an agent for change and a beacon of hope for oppressed women around the world. Timely and topical, In the Name of Honor is the remarkable and inspirational memoir of a woman who fought and triumphed against exceptional odds.

Vice Guide to Travel





WARNING! The VICE Guide To Travel contains nudity, guns, drugs, cussing, and assorted other heaviness. If you are easily offended, put this DVD down and walk away now.

The VICE GUIDE TO TRAVEL is the first installment in our new DVD series. We'll be doing these four times each year according to a different theme. It's a lot like Vice Magazine, except it moves. For this first one we dispatched correspondents all over the world to vist the planet's weirdest and most dangerous places. We went to such farflung locales as the Pygmy villages in the Congo, the radioactive ruins of Chernobyl, and the illegal arms markets of Pakistan. We looked for mythical beasts, met the PLO boy scouts (suicide bombers of tomorrow), chatted with a man who sold black market nuclear warheads and hung out with Osama bin Laden, and got shot at in the slums of Rio. This is travel at its most bizarre, equal parts LSD and adrenaline, and sometimes we can't believe we made it back.In keeping with Vice's trademark irreverent, sassy style, Vice Guide to Travel is the first installment of a quarterly DVD magazine. This first "issue" contains six short travel documentaries that screen like satirical Vice magazine articles, replete with cool soundtracks and starring studs like Spike Jonze and Johnny Knoxville. The series' modus operandi entails Vice co-founder Shane Smith voluntarily tossing himself and his co-hosts into life-threatening situations. In episode one, Smith shows Jonze footage of Palestine, where he went to investigate the PLO Boy Scouts of Beirut. Scenes of children singing war songs and wielding guns scare both of them until the segment ends on their declarations that the world is totally f***ed up. Most episodes hone Vice's weapon fetish. A visit to Bulgaria to buy black market bombs is eerily easy. Suroosh Alvi travels to the Khyber Pass region in Pakistan where one can buy homemade or vintage guns and fire machine guns off the roofs of city buildings. Other episodes lean towards the tragically bizarre. In Chernobyl, Smith hunts elusive mutant animals. In Paraguay, the host searches for an Aryan colony called Nueva Germania, where ex-Nazis supposedly live. Opposite the average motivational travel show, this DVD reinforces our fears of traveling to certain countries. To what end? At one point, Shane Smith asks, Why don't we know about this? Vice Guide to Travel is an exposé not only of what goes on behind closed doors, but also a statement against American media for covering these dangers up. --Trinie Dalton
