Scheherazade's Diary is a 2013 film directed by Zeina Daccache.
The women inmates of Lebanon's Baabda Prison relate their personal experiences and feelings about patriarchy as they prepare and present the first theatre performance staged inside an Arab women's prison. It was filmed during and after the ten-month 2012 drama therapy/theatre project in the prison. It features the women inmates.
In the film, the women reveal stories of domestic violence, traumatic childhood, failed marriage, unhappy romance and deprivation of motherhood. The film follows the women as they rehearse for the show and intermingles scenes from the live performance with testimonials and backstage antics.
