There will be a panel discussion following the film moderated
by Hassan Fayyad
A one woman show, based on life of the prominent Iranian poet Forugh Farrokhzad, whose poetry made a significant impact on men and women in Iran.
Set in Iran and Germany in 1950s and 1960s, the play opens up with a rebellious act in a secluded room, while simultaneously an American Coup by a CIA agent takes place outside the room, which overthrows the democratically elected government of Iran.
Forugh in search of the nature of love and freedom begins a long journey through impossibilities. By taking a perilous path, she defines a new perception of humane politics and morality, explores her own model of womanhood, and the manifestation of women’s liberation.
