Over de Grens

This documentary sheds a personal light on the consequences of the Iranian revolution, the ongoing oppression, and the brave resistance of Iranian women. Through the personal stories of Iranian women Mytra, Mona, and Azadeh, the film shows the brutal reality of executions, random house searches, and omnipresent fear. Women have suffered and continue to suffer heavily under the regime and are therefore a crucial key in the ongoing struggle for freedom and change. The film emphasizes that the theocratic regime under Ayatollah Khomeini did not just seize power after the fall of the Shah in 1979, but hijacked the revolution from the people and covered this up by eliminating political opponents. The courageous choices of women to rebel, flee abroad, and sustain a resistance movement reflect the hope for a future where they can freely be themselves.
