About
A former midwife becomes her remote Iranian village's first elected councilwoman and challenges patriarchal traditions.
Directed by Sara Khaki and Mohammadreza Eyni, Cutting Through Rocks is a documentary about Sara Shahverdi, a 37-year-old former midwife who has just won a landslide local election in her remote Iranian village. She becomes the first woman elected as a councilwoman in the rural community. A motorcycle rider and landowner, Shahverdi sets out to challenge long-held patriarchal traditions. Her work includes training teenage girls to ride motorcycles and trying to stop child marriages. The film follows her efforts in a community where she receives little open support.
