Prime Video has you covered this holiday season with movies for the family. Here are some of our picks to get you in the spirit.
Film takes us to juvenile correctional facility for girls under the age of 18, on the outskirts of Tehran. Throughout the interview's we get to know the girls and why they are here. Charges of robbery, car thieft, drug abuse and even murder. The storys they tell is shocking. Their domestic situation with their families are horrible, sexual abuse and rape, physical violence, neglect and probably manipulation into doing the crime itself. They not affraid to discus issues in their country like equal treatment for women. Deebating about their religion and suggesting "What if god was a woman". Here, they take their meals, play games, singing and praying, console one another. In some ways, prison has actually become a shelter and they dont look for the day they have to leave back to their families.
For Mehrdad Oskouei It took seven years dealing with authorities, petitioned them before they let him make this film and allowed him for 20 days into this facility. Considering country we are talking about, directors and their work are just inspiring. In 2010 Oskouei received the Dutch Prince Claus Award for his achievements. Starless Dreams won several awards from different festivals.
