Thanks, >Grady Ballenger NOT WITHOUT MY DAUGHTER could be considered such a film.... the father, in effect, kidnaps the child when he does not allow the mother to leave Iran with her....then.... the mother takes the child away (illegally under Iranian law) to return to the States. I'm sure that this is *not* the type of kidnapping that your student is interested in writing about.... but... the incidents of international parents taking American children to live overseas has gotten a lot of press coverage in recent years. ================================================================== Melissa Lee Price (Dr. Missy) | [log in to unmask] Northwestern State University, Dept.
