Canadian Broadcasting Corporation: Minna and Fariba are neighbours and good friends. They support one another. Both have to live under the pervasive curtailment of women's rights and the double standards of today's Iranian society. They make a living walking the streets looking for men. They have a choice between leaving their small children at home alone or bringing them along when they have sex with men. The film is a sympathetic portrait of the two women, exploring their day-to-day life and the workings of prostitution in a country that bans it and prosecutes adulterers, sometimes with the penalty of capital punishment.
Thanks to SK.

Solution?
by Bored Iranian (not verified) on Wed Oct 31, 2007 03:43 PM PDTThere is no simple solution for social problems, especially not when the government is supporting the system and poverty struck people accept it. Iranians abroad can fund, help or start charities that can take care of children who suffer from these conditions so that we wont have prostitution or crime in the coming generation, who can help people get off drugs, Iranians abroad can invest more in their own country and create more work for people there with their own companies where they try to help young women like these to find simple work, sanctions or no sanctions, but the problem here stems from the government, you cant solve these issues if you dont change the constitution, if you want to do that, you have to fight the elite class of Iranians who enjoy the current situation (the kesafat police chief who did her twice and gave her 20 dollars for it for example). To do that, you should unite all political parties who want to do this, abroad and inside Iran, and most importantly inform poor people like this that there is a solution, and the answer is not drugs, but change in the society. But this was my dream rambling, and will never happen the way things are going now.
very soon looking for iran future
by Anonymous000 (not verified) on Wed Oct 31, 2007 03:32 PM PDTOnce every Mullahs are not leave iran country what we are doing?

Watch it, watch it good
by Bored Iranian depressed while burning a cd (not verified) on Wed Oct 31, 2007 02:55 PM PDTThis is what your country has been turned into, be it the mullahs fault, be it foreign powers, watch it and let it give you a mission, you escaped to the US, Canada or Europe after 79, now educate yourself, gather wealth and knowledge, and change your country anyway you can, not because you can go around feeling proud that your "persian", but because you can help your brothers and sisters in the land of your ancestors. That is your mission and that is the reason why faith picked you to leave before disaster started.

by Truth (not verified) on Wed Oct 31, 2007 02:05 PM PDTVery nice documentry videos It is sad to watch how our Iranian people suffering in those baster hands for little as foods and to looking for surviving,
We have to admit this as usuall truth is painfull and hurt.
However It is good to see that if war began and America attack Iran we should NOT be any worry about our women and young girls are turn to whores and being F by them.
Becuase Iranian Mullahs turban shit head already make them everyone whores and turn country to giant prostitution and pimps and even as you know can be with SEGEH maked legal.
Parents selling own daughters or sons, and husband selling own wife just for sample living and foods.
Where is it peace Islam human right koran help them.
I bet sucking thump and pray God to them is work.
%95 Iranian are living under poverty and they are saying, I had it and I seen it all, enough is enought.

DK this is sad but
by Einollah (not verified) on Wed Oct 31, 2007 12:55 PM PDTDK this is sad but they have a license to film, right? This is one of the biggest differences in Cinema between Shah's era and Khatami's era. All we saw during Shah was Soup cinema (abgooshti). Iranian cinema (starting with Khatami) even with it's strict regulations, still produces films that are based on taboo subjects. You see so many films and then say how come they allow this to be shown?
By the way I think the women, at least one of them is Afghani. Her accent or dialect sounds like Afghan. Not that Iranians don't do this, it's just these 2 sound Afghan

You are as good as the money the Mullahs are paying you.
this is about women everywhere

I agree with some of the comments, let's bomb Iran and kill these Jendehs!!! It's a serious win-win situation. Mullahs will get rid of used-up koss and patriotic brave Iranians who live in America will get rid of the prostitution problem they don't like! Let's do it!!! Kill the jendehs!!!

Moreover, when DehNamaki makes documentary about prostitution in Iran and papers and websites publish articles about it, what is the point of someone from Sweden going to Iran and making yet another one? Except for political propaganda, I mean.
This film is good for Fox News only.

by Fereshteh (not verified) on Wed Oct 31, 2007 12:22 PM PDTThis is such a haunting, and sad documentary on the lives of these poor women who must belittle themselves into prostitution to survive in poverty. I only wish that the devils, the religious moslem clergy that has so severely soiled a nation burns in hell in this life and the afterlife.
And to the women -- I wish them strength, patience and perseverance so they can overcome.
