Poster for the film SEVEN WINTERS IN TEHRAN

Seven Winters in Tehran

Tehran, July 2007: Reyhaneh Jabbari, 19, has a business meeting with a new client. When he tries to rape her, she stabs him in self-defense. Later that day, she is arrested for murder. Her trial results in a death penalty sentence. Thanks to personal and secretly recorded videos provided by Reyhaneh’s family, their testimonies, and the letters written by Reyhaneh in prison, the film retraces the fate of a woman who becomes a symbol of resistance and women’s rights even beyond the borders of Iran.

"A deep, dignified and nuanced human story of a conflicted, violent society."
Vladan Petkovic, Cineuropa

This film is part of the Global Watch: Movies that Matter series.
