A widow who works tirelessly at a failing factory in sanctions-gripped Iran receives a marriage proposal that could mean financial security, but could also tear her family apart.


About the Iranian Women Revolt Sidebar

Inspired by the movement Woman, Life, Freedom, which started a few months ago in Iran, Iranian Women Revolt is a film series that showcases the cinema made by and about the Iranian women raised in post-1979 Revolution. This series captures diverse stories of the life of Iranian women who have lived under an oppressed regime for over 40 years. These post revolution young women filmmakers, who are bold, courageous, and intelligent, share the struggles, fights, quarrels, and pains of their characters with us. Thus, they no longer accept the tyranny against women and people of Iran in general. And they rise.


These are stories that shed light on the first ever women revolution that led to Iranian women being called the heroes of the year by the Time’s Magazine, for their courageous fight against oppression.
