MY STOLEN PLANET
MY STOLEN PLANET
Director Farahnaz Sharifi charts what life was like after the Iranian revolution. Using old home movies, recollections and recreations she shows the hidden life of women in the repressive country. It's a heady mix of a world most of the world was unaware of. It's a stunning piece of filmmaking that will make you ponder the furture not only for Iran but the rest of the world.
