When Mahsa Amini's death sparks nationwide protests, artist Marjane Satrapi brings together experts to chronicle this historic feminist uprising. As women burn hijabs and cut their hair in defiance, the violent crackdown by Iran's morality police only fuels greater resistance. This movement of "Women, Life, Freedom" now shakes the foundations of the Islamic Republic, driven by the universal desire for human dignity.
