Director Statement

In this documentary, we delve into the personal experiences of individuals who have faced street harassment in Tehran. Through intimate interviews with a diverse group of men and women, we aim to shed light on this widespread issue and start a conversation about how it can be addressed. The film features candid accounts of harassment incidents, the impact it has had on the individuals involved, and their thoughts on the societal attitudes and norms that perpetuate such behavior. Our goal is to raise awareness and encourage a shift in the cultural norms that condone street harassment, and to empower individuals to stand up against it.
