ONE MUST WASH EYES is the story of an international Iranian student, Sahar (Pegah Ghafoori, FROM), whose life changes dramatically after she's photographed at a Woman, Life, Freedom protest in Vancouver, leading to severe consequences from Iranian authorities. It captures the helplessness of watching your homeland suffer from a distance and highlights the losses that extend far beyond just precious lives.
Filmed in Vancouver, ONE MUST WASH EYES is an impactful debut feature by writer, director Sepideh Yadegar. The film also features a very personal connection for many of the cast and crew who are Iranian Canadians and particularly Sepideh, who became a refugee in Canada under similar circumstances to Sahar, her lead character.
