A little over two years ago, on September 16, 2022, Mahsa Amini, a young Kurdish student, was beaten to death by the Iranian morality police over a few strands of hair escaping from her veil. This was seen as one injustice too many by the Iranian people, who began to rise up to the cries of "Woman, Life, Freedom". The crackdown was brutal and the highly anticipated revolution did not take place, but the fire of anger continued to smoulder under the ashes. This documentary takes a behind-the-scenes look at Iran's unprecedented popular uprising. A film by Shooresh Afkari and Virginie Plaut.
