The Price of Honor

The Price of Honor tells the heart-wrenching story of Amina and Sarah Said, two teenage sisters murdered by their own father. On New Year’s Day in 2008, taxi driver Yaser Said took his daughters for a ride in his cab, only for their bodies to be discovered hours later in his abandoned vehicle, each having suffered multiple gunshot wounds. Said, responsible for what has been described as an honour killing, fled the scene and remains on the run to this day.

The documentary brings forward new details about the case that were not previously made public. With this additional evidence, the film also touches on another murder allegedly committed by Yaser Said and, crucially, allows Amina Said’s voice to be heard. Through home videos, letters, emails, and diary entries, Amina powerfully articulates the fear, control, and emotional struggle that she and her sister endured, offering a deeply personal perspective on a tragic crime.
