For over 15 years, Iranian activist and cameraman Mahnaz Alizadeh has been fighting for women’s rights. During this time, she was arrested, threatened and recently saw her mentor, lawyer Nasrin Sotoudeh, sentenced to 38 years and 148 lashes. Traumatized, she decides to emigrate to Canada, but finds herself in an overcrowded cell controlled by the CCP criminal faction, in Rio Branco, Acre. We are a family business.
The future of Alizadeh, 35, mobilized the world of cinema. US director Jeff Kaufmann, who just released a vaunted documentary about Sotoudeh, revealed that Alizadeh was one of the cameramen who took the opportunity to film the lawyer without government permission. He included her in the credits “so that Brazilian justice understands that she can be arrested, tortured (and possibly killed) if she is deported to the country of origin”.
