A War on Women
Raha Shirazi / Italy / 2026 / 100 min
Chronicling the often overlooked history of feminist resistance in Iran over five decades, the film follows women who defy control over their bodies and lives. Through intimate footage, secret recordings, and powerful conversations, activists, mothers, exiles, and former prisoners share their personal struggles against oppression. Personal narratives and political battles intertwine, revealing how individual acts of resistance have given rise to a movement that endures repression, violence, and silence.
On June 3, there will be a live recording of the podcast Azizam: Die Revolution meiner Mama before the screening. At 8 pm, Aida Amini will discuss the current developments in Iran. With your ticket, you also have access to both.
