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.[3][4] The film is based on the story of Nujood Ali, who sought divorce from her abusive husband at age 10.
