Woman, Life, Freedom
On a late summer day, a Kurdish-Iranian girl, Mahsa Jina, arrives in Tehran, the capital of Iran, with her brother to visit their relatives. She takes the subway into the city, and when she exits the train, she is apprehended by moral police officers on the platform because she hasn't properly covered her hair. Mahsa Jina is severely beaten by the moral police and succumbs to her injuries two days later in the hospital - on September 16, 2022. Jina's brutal death became the catalyst for nationwide protests both inside the country and abroad, marking the beginning of the world's first female revolution. This revolution is driven by young, modern, educated women and men. The Islamic regime has imposed extremely harsh laws against women. Women are considered lesser citizens, forced to obey male authority and societal structures. The Iranian government is against life - being happy and laughing, dancing and listening to music, singing, wearing beautiful clothes, hugging and kissing, loving... In the laws of the Islamic regime, there is no place or understanding for human rights, democracy, justice, and freedom. "Woman Life Freedom" is a true and highly relevant story about the brave young women and men who have sacrificed their lives for freedom. It is a story about their parents, families, and friends. A story of resistance, violence, and cruelty. A story of hope, hope as an attitude and determination, hope as a lifestyle to never give up but to continue the struggle for several generations.
