Seven Winters in Tehran
By Steffi Niederzoll
Nineteen-year-old Reyhaney Jabbari is convicted of the murder of the man who attempted to rape her. Using secretly filmed images and letters written from prison, this powerful and moving film traces the struggle of a family to save their daughter. It takes us into the heart of a corrupt criminal justice system that resonates painfully with the current situation of planned hangings. Through her courage, dignity and commitment, Reyhaney is one of the symbols of resistance and the struggle for women's rights in Iran.
