The film ‘The Seed of the Sacred Fig’ by Iranian director Mohammad Rasoulof draws inspiration from the ongoing ‘Women, Life, Freedom’ protests in Iran. Through the story of a family in Tehran, the film highlights the oppressive regime’s violent response to dissent, capturing the internal and external struggles faced by women under strict societal rules. Rasoulof, who risked arrest to produce the film, conveys themes of submission and rebellion. The film premiered at Cannes, receiving critical acclaim and shedding light on the courageous fight for equality and human rights in Iran.
