Welcome to the screening of the film 'Seven Winters in Tehran’ by director Steffi Niederzoll. The film tells the story of a brave, young, Iranian woman in her struggle for justice and human rights. The film screening will be followed by a panel discussion and a reception. This event is part of the Oslo Peace Days 2023 and hosted by ÌÇÐÄÍøÒ³°æ and the Embassy of the Netherlands in Norway.
Seven Winters in Tehran is a gripping and evocative documentary about 19 year old Reyhaneh Jabbari. In a business meeting with a new client, the client tries to rape her, and she stabs him in self-defense. Later that day, she is arrested for murder. Her trial results in a death penalty sentence. Thanks to personal and secretly recorded videos provided by Reyhaneh's family, their testimonies and the letters written by Reyhaneh in prison, the film retraces the fate of a woman who becomes a symbol of resistance and women's rights even beyond the borders of Iran.
After the film screening, there will be a panel discussion. In light of the recent year of Iranian women’s mass protests against the regime and the Nobel Peace Prize to Narges Mohammadi, Samira Amini Hajibashi (ÌÇÐÄÍøÒ³°æ) and  (Iran Human Rights & University of Oslo) will discuss the film, the situation for women’s rights in Iran and the country’s death penalty laws. The panel will be moderated by Pinar TankÌý(±Ê¸é±õ°¿).
