Nasrin is such an important film. It offers viewers a comprehensive picture of Iran, its beautiful landscapes, as well as the heartbreaking plight of its women. In Nasrin Sotoudeh, we see the human rights lawyer in action, but we also learn about her life as a wife and mother. The movie includes interviews with Nobel laureate Shirin Ebadi, Reza Khandan, Nasrin's husband, and other activists. Nasrin provides a perspective not only of the injustices women and children face in Iran, but it also shows the stark differences between Iran's citizens and the country's leadership. This film made me want to stand up and cheer for the many freedoms I enjoy as an American woman. This is the story of one courageous woman who is challenging injustice in her country, and the film tells it beautifully.
