Dear John,

On December 10th, the U.N.’s Human Rights Day, we profiled iconic Iranian human rights defender Nasrin Sotoudeh and encouraged our members to watch and support a new documentary on Sotoudeh’s life and work. And today marks the virtual opening of the highly anticipated documentary film, Nasrin!  

Directed by Jeff Kaufman and narrated by Olivia Colman, the film—taped mostly in Iran—is not just about Sotoudeh the activist. Rather, Kaufman’s incredible portrait of Nasrin gives the audience an intimate look at Nasrin, her family, and what motivates her unyielding drive to do her work as an attorney and activist. Following Nasrin on her journey, the audience is also given a rare glimpse into Iran that breaks from the caricatures and cliches often used in depicting the country in our media and news.

You can purchase tickets for a virtual screening in the comfort of your own home. Don’t miss this incredible film that tells the story of an extraordinary person.

The story of Nasrin is the story of all of humanity and the fight to achieve what may sound ordinary, but is indeed wondrous: justice. Make sure to check out this beautiful documentary today.

In solidarity,
