Matt Hrkac, Freedom For Iran (DOCO 2023)

The death of Mahsa Amini at the hands of Iran's so-called 'Morality Police' has sparked defiant acts of resistance against the country's dictatorship. Acts of resistance have included women removing their hijabs in public as well as cutting their hair, among other acts in defiance of Iran's morality laws. Many people are paying for this defiance with imprisonment and even their lives. Numerous protests standing in solidarity with the people of Iran, and in opposition to Iran's brutal dictatorship, have taken place among the Iranian diaspora around the world, including in Melbourne.
