Introduction

Farahnaz Sharifi, who was born during the Iranian Islamic revolution, has lived two lives. The outside world has demanded her silence and submission. But her true world, lived in the privacy of her own home, is filled with resistance, joy, music and freedom. Farahnaz’s riveting and essential film diary soon reveals she is not alone in leading a dual existence – her hidden world is the universal experience of many Iranians.
