One Thousand Women

Special screening & panel discussion as part of ‘16 Days against Violence’.
In co-operation with ‘Das Iranische Wien’.

A documentary about women's grappling (wrestling) in Iran, the mullahs' claim to power over women's bodies and the resistance against it. The total control that the Iranian mullah regime constantly exerts on women also extends to the domain of sport. In particular to male-dominated sports such as grappling wrestling. This great documentary film shows how women resist this violence and dominance.

‘This film is everything I always wanted to say about Iranian women,’ says director Mojagan Ilanlou.
