Braving the Waves 2016

Roghieh, a woman from rural Iran, has built up her own bazaar, where several hundred women come every day to sell food and handicrafts to make a living. It all goes well until the village mayor decides to tear down the bazaar and build a shopping mall instead. But Roghieh won’t give up without a fight. "Braving the Waves" is a subtle documentary that uses the story of the bazaar to give a fascinating insight into the daily lives of some women on the Iranian countryside.
