The life of wo­men* in Iran: «Nas­rin»

The documentary film "Nasrin" sheds light on the life and struggle of Nasrin Sotoudeh, a leading Iranian human rights lawyer. Despite constant threats from the authorities, she steadfastly defends the rights of women, children and political prisoners. The film shows not only her professional dedication, but also her personal story and her family - and her courage to continue fighting against injustice even when her own life is in danger. "Nasrin" provides an insight into the political resistance movement in Iran and tells the stories of people fighting for freedom and justice. Afterwards, experts will discuss the film with you.
