A War on Women

A War on Women is scheduled for release on April 26, 2026. The Persian-language film documents Iran's feminist movement, situating it within a history that predates the 2022 death of Mahsa Amini, whose case drew international attention to the enforcement of compulsory hijab laws. The documentary traces the long-standing demands of Iranian women for gender equality and fundamental human rights, framing those demands as part of a sustained and deeply rooted tradition of activism rather than a recent phenomenon.
