NASRIN
CAUSE: Human Rights
CATEGORY: Film
PROJECT DIRECTOR: Marcia Ross
NASRIN is a documentary that tells the story of human rights activist Nasrin Sotoudeh. This film provides an immersive portrait of such a courageous human rights activist and political prisoner, as well as of Iran's remarkably resilient women's rights movement. In the courts and on the streets, Nasrin has long fought for the rights of women, children, LGBT prisoners, religious minorities, journalists and artists, and those facing the death penalty. Featuring acclaimed filmmaker Jafar Panahi, Nobel Peace Prize laureate Shirin Ebadi, journalist Ann Curry, exiled women’s rights activist Mansoureh Shojaee, and Nasrin’s equally courageous husband Reza Khandan, NASRIN is an unflinching look at a woman referred to as the Nelson Mandela of Iran.
