Docs Ireland presents Cutting Through Rocks (2025).
As the first elected councilwoman of her Iranian village, Sara Shahverdi aims to break long-held patriarchal traditions by training teenage girls to ride motorcycles and stopping child marriages.
When accusations arise questioning Sara’s intentions to empower the girls, her identity is put in turmoil.
Oscar-nominated for Best Documentary, this film very successfully describes the details, complexity and humanity present daily in Iran.
