The death of Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old Kurdish woman, in the custody of Tehran’s morality police ignited a firestorm of resistance across Iran. What began as women-led protests rapidly evolved into a nationwide movement, demanding an end to over 40 years of clerical rule.
Through the grainy black-and-white frames, this series captures the emotional weight of this pivotal moment. A Kurdish woman, bearing a proud history of freedom and dignity, with ancestors who sacrificed themselves defending this country, becomes a nameless nomad traveling across mountains, searching for a place where she is valued for her humanity.
