In 2022, Jina Mahsa Amini died in police custody in Tehran, igniting a wave of outrage that grew into the largest feminist protest movement in Iran’s history. In this six-part podcast, German-Iranian host Aida Amini explores how these protests have reshaped the lives of women in Iran, across the diaspora, and within her own family. She tells the story of her mother, Malihe, who begins to question her decision to leave Iran, sparking a quiet revolution within herself. As Aida searches for her mother’s roots, she is drawn into a deeper journey of her own, challenging her sense of identity and belonging.
