Cutting Through Rocks
Woodstock Vermont Film Series presents:
Cutting Through Rocks
In a conservative village in northwestern Iran, Sara Shahverdi makes history as the first woman elected to the local council. A divorced former midwife who rides a motorcycle and challenges traditional expectations for women, Sara is determined to create new opportunities for women and girls in her community. From confronting child marriage and advocating for women’s inheritance rights to teaching teenage girls to ride motorcycles as a symbol of independence, her efforts inspire hope and provoke resistance. As opposition grows and her motives are questioned, Sara’s courage and determination are put to the test. Intimate, inspiring, and quietly suspenseful, Cutting Through Rocks is a powerful portrait of one woman’s determination to reshape her community from within.
