Description
In Tehran, 2007, Reyhaneh Jabbari had a meeting with a new client, advising the businessman on the interior decoration of his clinic. But when she arrives, the meeting turns out to be in an apartment, not an office. When he tries to rape her, she stabs him in self-defence, killing him in the process. Later that day, she is arrested for murder.
This compelling documentary covers the trial and the consequences which Reyhaneh faces. Director Steffi Niederzoll Frank uses secretly recorded videos provided by Reyhaneh’s family, their memories and reactions, and the letters written by Reyhaneh in prison. This chilling documentary is about the fate of a woman who became an international symbol of resistance and women’s rights.
Persian with English subtitles. Suitable for over 15s.
