About this listen

Walter Salles' 'I'm Still Here', about an engineer disappeared from his home by an oppressive regime in 1971, won the Oscar for best not-American film. Mohammad Rasoulof's 'The Seed of the Sacred Fig', is about a judge in Iran's Revolutionary Court during the 2022 protests that followed the death in custody of Mahsa Amini, arrested for not wearing her hijab correctly. Brazil: how to survive as a human being after your husband is kidnapped by the regime. Iran: can you survive as a a human being when you are an enforcer of the regime?
