FOR NEDA ( English)
FOR NEDA reveals the true story of Neda AghaSoltan, who became another tragic casualty of Iran s violent crackdown on postelection protests on June 20, 2009. Unlike many unknown victims, however, she instantly became an international symbol of the struggle: Within hours of AghaSoltan s death, cell phone photographs of her bloodstained face were held aloft by crowds protesting in Tehran and across the world. With exclusive access to her family inside Iran, the documentary goes to the heart of who Neda was and what she stood for, illuminating the larger Iranian struggle for democratic freedoms through her powerful story. Directed by Antony Thomas.
