Directed by Neena Nejad and Xoel Pamos, "The Price of Honor" is a crime documentary about the murders of Sarah and Amina Said, two teenage sisters from Texas who were killed in a premeditated Honor Killing planned and executed by their father Yaser Said back in 2008.
The film chronicles the lives of the sisters and the path to their eventual murders by their own father, Yaser Said. The film reveals new details and uncovers evidence about the case that has never before been made public, including a previous murder committed by Yaser, his abuse of his daughters from a young age, and the ultimate sacrifice of Amina Said, who had a secret plan to protect the love of her life. Her words, through emails, letters and diary entries, become the voice of the film and change much of what has heretofore been assumed about this case. Despite the tragedy, viewers will learn of an incredible love story that still has life after death.
Yaser Said was finally arrested on August 27, 2020 after being on the FBIs top ten fugitive list for over 12 years. Also arrested were his son, Islam Said and Yaser's brother, Yassim Said, for harboring a fugitive. The jury found Said guilty of capital murder. Dallas County District Court Judge Chika Anyiam sentenced Said to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
As of January 2023, he is incarcerated at Texas Department of Criminal Justice's McConnell Unit in Bee County, Texas.
Helplessness. Frustration. Repulsion. Rage. Grief. Emptiness. And sadness -- a deep, lingering sadness that grips you and won't let go. These are but a taste of the myriad of intense emotions that the story of Amina and Sarah Said will take hold in your heart, and stay with you long after it has played out to its conclusion. You cannot have a shred of decency in you and not feel rage toward the so-called father of these two teen girls, and toward his family of protectors. You will also feel intense emotion over the continued denial of their cowardly American mother. Part of us can understand it was her self-preservation kicking in, based on a very real fear over what could happen to her. But still, its all so inexcusable. Join the discussion & Share!
