Women around the world face a world of violence and brutality. Regardless of where they live, women struggle daily for rights and protections that are often times denied them despite law.

A film released three years ago captures this struggle in a small village in Iran. We post it here because we believe the message to be relevant and this woman’s life worth honoring by having her story told until the entire world has heard of her. By the time you reach the end of the film, you will understand why. Worth the effort of reading the subtitles, the impact and impression this true story makes will stay with you. That is its purpose.

This is not a “family” film. It is graphic and horrifying. It is, we remind you again, a true story.
