Sean Murphy of FPA’s Global Film Review blog has posted a review of an intriguing documentary called The Glass House. This documentary follows lives of four young Iranian women over an 18 month period at a center in Tehran called Omid e Mehr, where women living on the margins of Iranian society can come for training. The four main characters of the movie are: Sussan- a woman who has a stuttering problem and a memory loss; Samira- a drug addict; Mitra- a writer dealing with an abusive father; and Nazila- a woman who expresses her frustration and rage by recording rap music, which is forbidden by Iranian law. Sean states in his review, “it is impossible to watch their stories and not be moved.” Full review of the documentary is available here.
