Bidad

Seti loves music and singing, and she yearns for her voice to be heard. But in Iran, women are forbidden by law from performing in public, so the young girl decides to stage her own personal protest. The street becomes her stage, and random passersby become her enthusiastic audience. Her star rises, and Seti becomes an idol for her generation—young people who refuse to live under ruthless political oppression any longer.
