Short Film - Baraye (2023)
Farah is trapped in immigration limbo after fleeing her home country. Traumatised from her past, she soon finds nowhere is safe.
In 'BARAYE,' the title itself encapsulates the essence of the film, drawing inspiration from the resounding anthem of the Iranian hijab protest. 'Baraye ', translating to 'Because of' in Farsi, serves as a powerful symbol echoing the collective purpose that fueled the courageous women in their stand against societal constraints. This short film delves into Farah's journey, unravelling a poignant exploration of resilience amidst adversity. 'BARAYE' sheds light on the Iranian hijab protest, capturing the solidarity among women and their unwavering pursuit of freedom.
I hope that this film can be a small part of reflecting the rallying cry that became an anthem for those who challenged norms, amplified silenced voices and showcased the remarkable courage required to confront oppression. 'BARAYE' stands as a tribute to the indomitable spirit that binds these women together in their fight for autonomy and self-expression.
