Rise

RISE’ بپاخیز captures the #WomanLifeFreedom movement through the story of a teenage girl who resists the patriarchal ‘morality police’. Presented by Evoca Pictures and Executive Produced by Naza Alakija, Rise pays tribute to the movement, celebrating and honouring the fierce women of Iran along with women and girls across the globe.

Featuring Dr Maya Angelou’s seminal feminist poem ‘Still I Rise’ and the music of Kurdish artist Hani Mojtahedy and Iranian rapper Gdaal, Rise was created by an anonymous female Director ‘SHIRZAN’ along with a team of production partners who remain anonymous due to the risk of retribution by the Iranian authorities.
