Woman, Life, Freedom: Films of Iran at Kirkland Library
Join Peyvand in partnership with the King County Library System each Tuesday in November to celebrate the rich tradition of Iranian cinema, at the Kirkland Library.
To mark the one-year anniversary of Mahsa Amini’s death and the Woman, Life, Freedom movement in Iran, we will feature a spectrum of women's voices from top directors. Shannon Ghanbari of the Iran Film Initiative at Peyvand will introduce the films.

A young female driver in Tehran has ten conversations while picking up passengers and hitchhikers. The women she meets have varied lives--there is a jilted bride, a prostitute, and a woman on her way to prayer, among other--but all of their conversations give voice to the many underrepresented woman in Iran.
