Shirin Ebadi: Until We Are Free
Streaming video - 2022
The first Muslim woman to receive the Nobel Peace Prize, Shirin Ebadi has inspired millions around the globe through her work as a human rights lawyer defending women and children against a brutal regime in Iran. Now the film, UNTIL WE ARE FREE, tells her story of courage and defiance in the face of a government out to destroy her, her family, and her mission: to bring justice to the people and the country she loves. Best known in this country as the lawyer working tirelessly on behalf of Canadian photojournalist, Zara Kazemi. UNTIL WE ARE FREE tells of the struggle of one woman against the system. The Iranian government would end up taking everything from Shirin Ebadi- her marriage, her home, her legal career, even her Nobel Prize- but the... one thing it could never steal was her spirit to fight for justice and a better future. This is the amazing, at times harrowing, simply astonishing story of a woman who would never give up, no matter the risks.
