Prostitution Behind the Veil

A side of Iran I've never seen.
This documentary was extremely interesting and sad. What the young girls have to do to survive is depressing. There were times where I felt angry that the mother was endangering her child but I had to remind myself that their culture is different. All in all, I highly recommend this documentary.

Must See
In Iran after the 1979 Islamic Revolution the Shah of Iran was replaced by a theocracy. Most of the rights of women were removed through legislation. Children were allowed to marry at the age of 9. The only people who grew rich were the mullahs. This documentary shows the life of two women who like thousands of Iranian Women live a hopeless life because they are never given a chance to be independent and better themselves.

A Reminder
Every time I watch a movie like this always makes me depressed, especially after you pull yourself out of the movie and notice that you have so much that many people in the world don't have. People should watch more of these movies just to see what's going on outside the US and remind ourselves to cherish what we have.
