 FRANCISCO\nNASRIN\nFRIDAY, MAY 20, 2022, 6:30 PM\n\nNasrin is a powerful 
 feature documentary by filmmakers Jeff Kaufman and Marcia Ross, that was 
 filmed inside Iran by people risking arrests and imprisonment to bring this 
 inspiring ‘candle in the dark’ to the bright screen.  The film is 
 narrated by Academy Award winner Olivia Colman and  includes an original 
 song performed by internationally known artist Angélique Kidjo.  \n  
 \nNasrin traces the journey of Nasrin Sotoudeh—Iranian defense lawyer, 
 political prisoner, human rights and women’s rights activist. It also 
 profiles the untold story of the courageous women’s movement in Iran.  
 Nasrin was arrested and sent to prison in 2018 for representing the 
 “Girls of Revolution Street”—defending women who were protesting 
 Iran’s law that mandates women to wear head scarves (or hijab). She was 
 sentenced to 38 years in prison and 148 lashes and yet has gone on several 
 prison hunger strikes to demand freedom for all political prisoners in 
 Iran. Before this, she had already spent three years in prison (2010-2013) 
 for her work as a rights attorney.\n\nThere will be a welcome by the 
 Sensible Cinema crew,  followed by a brief introduction by Dolly Veale, an 
 initiator of the Emergency Campaign to Free Iran’s Political Prisoners 
 NOW (https://www.freeiranspoliticalprisonersnow.org/)\n\nThe film features 
 acclaimed filmmaker Jafar Panahi, Nobel Peace Prize laureate Shirin Ebadi, 
 journalist Ann Curry, exiled women’s rights activist Mansoureh Shojaee, 
 and Nasrin’s equally courageous husband Reza Khandan… An Amnesty 
 International petition calling for her release received over a million 
 signatures from 200 countries.\n\nFor more information please contact:
