What is the meaning of telling stories through music, films and books? At the Berlin Film Festival, NBHAP editor Nora got to talk to the cast and director of The Bookshop, a film asking a similar question.
The Iranian singer Faravaz will release her debut, "Azadi" (meaning "Freedom" in Farsi), on May 11th. The record recounts the story of her life in exile in Germany because the Iranian government sentenced her to one year in prison for the act of singing as a woman. Choosing to not return to her homeland, Faravaz fights for women’s rights from abroad. Her music is driven by the yearning and fight for liberation from patriarchal oppression.
