Fearlessly pushing back against custom, Sara Shahverdi, the first councilwoman in an Iranian village, challenges the patriarchy by teaching girls to ride motorcycles and resist child marriage, until her intentions are deemed suspicious. A subtly moving and timely documentary that is as humane as it is angry. Unclassified: Parental Guidance.
