SNOWY ROADS

Hayedeh Moradi | Iran 2018 | 29 Min. | OmeU

It’s equally painful to watch Zahra walking for miles through deep snow and over steep mountains in order to reach school, and seeing the patriarchs of her village destroying the future of whole generations of female potential by referring to traditions and morals. 95 percent of all girls in this rural province have to leave school after only a couple of years of education. They disappear into the four walls of their families’, or their partners’ homes. It comes as a small miracle, that the young women who are portrayed here, still dare to dream big.
