Documentary screening: 'For Neda'
Date: Mon 5 July 2010
On the afternoon of June 20 2009, Neda Agha-Soltan left her family home to take part in an anti government demonstration in Tehran. Hours later she was dead, shot by a lone sniper, her death recorded on a mobile phone and broadcast around the world. Neda instantly became an international symbol of the struggle for freedom in Iran, her face familiar to millions of people around the world.
Director Antony Thomas gained exclusive access to Neda’s family for the making of this film which is both a personal story and a powerful illustration of the wider struggle for democratic freedoms in Iran.
Followed by discussion and Q&A with director Antony Thomas
