Iran's Fearless Film Maker - Iran

June 2007
Her films have divided Iran, led to her arrest and seen her charged with four crimes that carry the death penalty. But Iranian filmmaker Tehmineh Milani refuses to be silenced.
"She focuses on women's rights and shows things the way they are", states a fan. Milani's latest film, 'Payback', is her most contentious to date. It's about four women who meet in prison and form a vigilante gang, posing as prostitutes and handing out their own brand of justice to men. "I wrote the story but the characters are based on real people", Milani states. Although Milani is Iran's most commercially successful director, filmmaking for her is about much more than making money. As she explains: "I think I have an ability to make a positive cultural change".

Bless you sister, strength and courage to you in your struggle, I hope one day women of Saudi Arabia, Iran etc. will have peace Inshallah. These things are just so sad, and these governments are literally acting AGAINST WHAT ISLAM STANDS FOR as oppressing women or anyone is totally illegal in Islam. Can't these "leaders" just see that? But no they wouldn't, because they use our beautiful religion as an excuse to spread terror and violence. It never ceases to amaze me: Aren't they afraid of God?

@woestijnvis07 TWO PRISONERS OF ISLAM ARE TALKING AND ONE SAYS TO THE OTHER DO YOU KNOW WHAT ITS LIKE IN SAUDI ARABIA. THE OTHER GIRL SAYS DO YOU KNOW WHAT ITS LIKE AFTER THE MORALITY POLICE TAKE YOU TO THE EVIN PRISON.

MUSLIM GOVERNMENTS ARE LIKE THIS THE RELIGION IS BUILT FOR POWER TO GO STRAIGHT TO THE TOP. THEY USE CHILD SOLDIERS AND MARY WOMEN AT 9 YEARS OF AGE. THERE IS NO RECOURSE AGAINST THE RELIGION NOT EVEN FROM WITHIN.

TIME FOR ISLAM TO MEDITATE ON THE DESTRUCTION CAUSED
