Storyboard Text
- How can I create this world outside the room? Let's say one of my girls, say Sanaz, leaving my house.
- She puts on her black robe and scarf over her orange shirt and jeans, to cover her neck and huge earrings.
- The streets of Iran are patrolled by militia, gun-carrying men nd women, making sure women like Sanaz wear their vails properly, so not wear make up, or walk with other men.
- Brother?
- Distantboyfriend?
- Mother's situation when she was my age? Walking freely, enjoying the company of the opposite sex, join police forces, live among progressive laws for women?
- What is Sanaz thinking as she is seated, segregated in the back of the bus of Tehrna?
- In the course of nearly two years the streets have been turned into a war zone, where young women who disobey the rules are hurled into patrol cars, taken to jail, flogged, fined, and humiliated.
- These gurls, my girls, had both a real history and a fabricated one. The regime that ruled them had tried to make their personal identities and histories irrelevant, only known as Muslim women.
- We have reached Sanaz's house, where we leave her at the doorstep.
