PARTS: (1) (2) (3) (4) (5)

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.

Prostitution behind the veil (1)

Again and again we see what the so called "revolution" has brought us. Still there are those who can't wait to vote for yet another Mullah, another Ahmadinejad or another Islamic republic.

This is So So Sad ...

I find that these women are very bold to show themselves on Camera with no coverage. But I don't understand why the journalists have not convered the gilrs faces for their own safety. I am not sure it is very professional of them.

This is such a Sad, Sad documentary on the condition of these women Siges ...

Prostitution is not just specific to Iran but this is so sad to see what some people have to put up. The poor kids will learn one day that their mother was a prostitute and father a pimp.

So Sad, I feel Sick watching this.
