Mahnaz Mohammadi

Roya, an Iranian teacher imprisoned in Tehran’s Evin Prison for her political beliefs, is faced with a choice: make a forced televised confession or remain confined to her three-square-metre cell. As past and present slip out of sequence and exchange places, she moves between inner landscapes and lived experience.

Through a remarkable archive secretly filmed over two decades, exiled filmmaker Mahnaz Mohammadi retraces the rise of Iran’s women’s movement, and its eventual suppression. Follow the story of her own journey through surveillance, imprisonment and resistance, and a powerful exploration of womanhood, friendship and survival in a society that is pervaded by gender restrictions.

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.

A documentary following Mr Vali, an addict and sponsor.
