“Woman, life, freedom” - Zan, zendegi, azadi - has been the rallying cry for the revolution in Iran that began with Mahsa Amini’s murder. This movement has been led by women and girls from the start.
During this conversation with Iranian filmmaker Sabereh Kashi discusses her upcoming documentary project, which discusses the notion of womanhood from different angles. She turns the camera on herself to explore her personal journey, as well as on her home during visits to Iran to examine the feminine in Iran more broadly.
Sabereh and Raeshma also talk about the inspiration for our squad - Shahrazad - and the importance of framing her as an archetype rather than a character.
Sabereh kicks things off by talking about her latest documentary, The Patient Woman, which chronicles her own story traveling and finding her identity between the Bay Area and Iran.
