I Am Nojoom, Age 10 and Divorced is a Yemeni-set drama based on a true story, following ten-year-old Nojoom who is forced into marriage with a thirty-year-old man. For her impoverished family, the dowry represents a small financial relief and one less child to feed. But for Nojoom, it marks the beginning of an ordeal — daily labor under harsh conditions and nightly abuse at the hands of a man two decades her senior, all within a social structure that considers the arrangement entirely legitimate.
