Directed by Davoud Geramifard, Canada, 2009, BetaSP, 68 mins, color, Farsi with English subtitles. The untold story of Iranian secularists through three fascinating characters–each from a distinct social, economic and educational background–but all sharing a love for their motherland and in need of a country free from political repression and theocracy. Selections from the Human Rights Watch Film Festival, 9th Edition. Co-presented by the Greenfield Intercultural, African Studies and Middle East Centers at the University of Pennsylvania. The works featured during Selections from the Human Rights Watch International Film Festival help to put a human face on threats to individual freedom and dignity and celebrate the power of the human spirit and intellect to prevail. They enable people to understand human rights issues through the art of film, a medium through which individual stories of suffering and strength can be shared across borders of all kinds. We see these films as capable of creating forums for discussion in communities across the Philadelphia Region and seek to empower everyone with the knowledge that personal commitment can make a very real difference.
