Nayère, Les Chants de Liberté

A documentary by Mina Saïdi Sharouz
52'

Mina Saidi has lived in France for 20 years. Her mother, Nayere Saïdi, who died ten years ago in Paris, was a poetess and public figure who throughout her life incarnated the image of the modern Teheran woman in pre-Islamic revolution. The filmmaker seeks to weave together the connection between the committed actions of Nayere's time and the reality of the feminine condition today. Mina Saidi succeeds in painting a complex and touching portrait of an Iranian feminine society that is headstrong, combative and on the move towards equal rights.
