Even though Ms. Nasrin Sotoudeh's struggles, as the unwavering human rights lawyer, who has championed the rights of women, minorities, youth and other underserved populations in the Islamic Republic of Iran, has been known to me for years, this movie opened my eyes to Nasrin, the artist, the mother, the wife and the defender of love and compassion. The film doesn't follow a time line, but creates a beautifully woven story of the history of Iran, history of human rights struggles in Iran and Nasrin's own life. You leave the movie, feeling privileged to have been privy to parts of this amazing human being's life and naturally be inspired.
