You’ll see news headlines about ‘peace deals’ and you’ll see creators like @aaronparnas say they’re being offered live interviews of people showing their face and voice from inside Iran, but the reality is propaganda is at an all time high and Iranian voices continue to be silenced…unless they pledge allegiance to the regime. Then they get a government controlled SIM card to access the internet. Everything is monitored. 

Your feeds have been flooded with Cannes film festival. Congrats to @pegahahangarani for winning the documentary prize she dedicated to the people of Iran whose oppression she documented. @thatnightdoc is pleased to announce we will also be screening in France - in June for @annecyfestival. Join us!

“It’s never just a dress,” said fashion expert @jaytibbitts in his coverage of Met Gala Monday. And we couldn’t agree more.

Last weekend at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, I wore ‘Made in the USA’ Iranian American designer @sarehnouri “Neda” dress from the newly debuted Persian Muse collection — named for Neda Agha-Soltan, killed during Iran’s 2009 Green Movement — for the women that rise, a tribute to Persian women’s resilience, identity, and history, reinterpreted through couture.

Weaving the stories of Iranian women freedom fighters past and present, the look carried @thatnightdoc — the animated short documentary I’m executive producing, directed by @hodasobhaniii about Neda Naji, who survived the Evin Prison fire during the Women, Life, Freedom movement in Iran in 2022.

That very evening, we won the Grand Jury Prize for Animated Shorts at @wearediffdallas — officially award-winning and Academy qualifying.

At @helmettoheels, we use fashion to get people to pay attention to foreign news. The press that followed proved it worked. Thank you @tmz_tv, @usatoday, @wwd, @cspan and @nytimes. 

We made the most of the high-profile nature of the red carpet access to give voice to the voiceless: the people of Iran, muzzled by their government in the longest state-sponsored internet blackout in history. What is our role as the press at an event celebrating the first amendment if not to pay tribute to people who’ve given their lives fighting for this very unalienable right to freely express yourself? 

Thank you to @u2 for producing “Song of the Future” — honoring Sarina Esmailzadeh, a teenage Iranian girl killed during Women, Life, Freedom.

It was never just a dress.

Conversation with @hodasobhaniii, director of an upcoming animated documentary @thatnightdoc about the night Evin Prison in Iran was on fire in October of 2022. This film focuses the story of Hoda’s friend, Neda’s experience during the fire while she was imprisoned for participating in #WomenLifeFreedom protests.
