What happens
I Am Nojoom, Age 10 and Divorced (Arabic: أنا نجوم بنت العاشرة ومطلقة, romanized: ‘anā Nujūm bint al-ʿāšara wa-muṭlaqa, lit. 'I am Nujūm, a girl of ten and divorced') is a 2014 Yemeni drama film directed by Khadija al-Salami. It was selected as the Yemeni entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 89th Academy Awards, the first time that Yemen had submitted a film for consideration. However, it was not nominated. The film is based on the story of Nujood Ali, who sought divorce from her abusive husband at age 10. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
