No Land's Song

Deutschland Frankreich 2011-2014 Dokumentarfilm

Summary

A female solo singing performance is officially considered a subversive threat in Iran, and is not allowed in front of an all-male or mixed audience. In his documentary, filmmaker Ayat Najafi follows his sister, composer Sara Najafi, who wants to stage a Teheran concert with her songs and female solo singers. While she is rehearsing with the performers and musicians in France, the Iranian government continues to obstruct the production, thus threatening to end the whole project.
