Film Details

Teenage Iranian girls imprisoned in a Tehran juvenile correctional facility for their part in the murder of their father, husband, or other male relative are the focus of this revealing and empathetic new documentary. The filmmaker invites the young women, one by one, to go into a room alone, push a button on the camera, and directly address their accomplices or their victims.
