Synopsis
Born during the Islamic Revolution in Iran, Farah’s life is destined to be intertwined with the tumultuous fate of her native country. Capturing moments of daily life with her camera, and simultaneously collecting 8mm archives from strangers, she navigates the contrast between domestic freedom and external oppression. Farahnaz Sharifi, the acclaimed editor of Radiograph of a Family (45th), crafts her alternative, homemade history of Iran in her first documentary feature, preserving memories as a resistance to forgetting, and paying tribute to those courageous women who lost their lives on the path to freedom.
