"Opening Horizons" is a gripping documentary that follows Sara Shahverdi, the first elected female councilor in her Iranian hometown, as she daringly sets out to challenge deeply entrenched patriarchal traditions. With a focus on empowering adolescent girls, Shahverdi teaches them to ride motorcycles and advocates against child marriages, all while facing rising accusations that threaten her identity and intentions. This 95-minute film, directed by Mohammadreza Eyni and Sara Khaki, is a powerful exploration of resilience and women’s rights across international contexts including Qatar, Chile, Canada, and Germany.
