Synopsis by Cammila Collar
Iranian pop star Googoosh was an unparalleled star in Iranian music until the 1979 Islamic revolution when female pop stars were forbidden to perform. This documentary takes a look back at Googoosh's Elvis like fame before she was silenced, from her days as a child star to the end of her career, while also viewing this history in the context of women's rights in the Middle East.
