  • Two massacres in Iran that took place between 1981 and 1988. During the massacre of 1988 around 10,000 political prisoners were executed in Iran.
  • The political reason of these two massacres.
  • Why the world keeps its silence yet about this anti-human-rights crime, then and still now.
  • The difference between political prisons for women and men and the role of children in women prisons.
 

Performance of the film “From Scream to Scream” Why a political prison for women is an interesting topic for a film maker.
 

• Summary:

The documentary „From Scream to Scream“ is the story of a young woman who spent 8 years of her youth in a prison of the Islamic Republic.
Her story is a part of the story of this generation of Iranian women and a part of the political history of Iran which the Islamic Regime has not spoken about and has kept in hiding until now.
The massacres between 1981 and 1988 are still unknown to the new generation.
She is also an artist.  There are 200 paintings and designs in this documentary that she painted in prison and sent out of jail illegally. She describes the relationship between several political prisoners, her protest, but also their sadness, pain, fear, horror, loss and much more…

The film was awarded at the 26th edition of the International Meetings of Women and Cinema in October 2004 in Florence, Italy.
