After her family attempts to sell her into marriage, a young Afghan refugee in Iran channels her frustrations and seizes her destiny through music. Grabbing the mic, she spits fiery rhymes in the face of oppressive traditions.
We’re delighted to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Human Rights Watch Film Festival in London by showcasing a selection of highlights from their previous editions! We open with Sonita, an affecting documentary about a headstrong young woman in Iran who fights for her rights through rap music.
