synopsis
Filmmaker Anthony Thomas offers this portrait of Neda Agha Soltan, the young Iranian woman whose agonizing death was captured on camera after she was shot through the heart during a June, 2009 protest in Tehran, and broadcast around the world on the internet. In the wake of that tragedy, Neda emerged as a powerful symbol of the ongoing fight against the oppressive Iranian government.
