Film Description

Two films by one of Britains foremost documentary filmmakers Kim Longinotto. Divorce Iranian Style unfolds inside an Iranian divorce court, and provides a subtle and intimate look at the lives of women in a country stereotypically associated with fanaticism and oppression. Subtle and beautifully observed, the film reveals the ingenuity and humour with which Iranian women negotiate the restrictions of their society.

Runaway follows the stories of five young girls who arrive at a refuge in Iran’'s capital city Tehran, having run away from abusive or neglectful families. Some are in despair, others are simply mischievous; but somehow they must all learn to face the future.
