Story
I 1979 væltede Ayatollah Khomeini 2.500 års persisk kongedømme og ændrede verdenshistorien. I dag er Iran den vigtigste spiller i et Mellemøsten splittet mellem Iran på den ene side og USA, Saudi-Arabien og Israel på den anden - et magtspil, der også har konsekvenser for Danmark. Men det er også i Iran, man finder kimen til en anderledes fremtid blandt de iranske unge, kvinderne, kunstnerne og de demokratiske kræfter, der har fået nok af konflikt og undertrykkelse.

Story
Savushun chronicles the life of a Persian family during the Allied occupation of Iran during World War II. It is set in Shiraz, a town which evokes images of Persepolis and pre-Islamic monuments, the great poets, the shrines, Sufis, and nomadic tribes within a historical web of the interests, privilege, and influence of foreign powers; corruption, incompetence, and arrogance of persons in authority; the paternalistic landowner-peasant relationship; tribalism; and the fear of famine.

The Wind in My Hair

Story
It all started with a single photo, a bold statement on Masih's Facebook page: a woman standing proudly, her face bare, her beautiful, curly hair blowing in the wind. Her crime: simply removing her veil, or hijab, which is compulsory for women in Iran. This is the photo that sparked a social-media liberation movement, 'My Stealthy Freedom'. Across Iran, women started posting pictures of their uncovered hair on Masih's page in open defiance of the strict religious beliefs of their country (and often their families) while sharing their personal stories about this powerful mode of expression.
