In a remote Iranian village, where tradition dictates that a woman must "live with her husband or father," Sara Shahverdi, a divorced former midwife and biker who lives alone, defies conventions to become the first woman elected to the local council. While supporting young girls, opposing arranged marriages, and fighting deeply rooted power structures, Cutting Through Rocks closely observes the political stakes and the personal cost of driving change. With remarkable patience and formal restraint, co-directors Eyni and Khaki turn this local political struggle into a dynamic analysis of established power and gender inequality. Sara Shahverdi stands out as an unforgettable figure, her determination and resilience bringing hope in the face of systemic oppression. In collaboration with Ciné ONU.
