"This is a battlefield. Our sword is love." raps Toomaj Salehi, echoing the sound of the revolution in Iran. Since the death of Jina Mahsa Amini, who was arrested by the morality police, protests have been growing. And solidarity is strong - it cuts across all ages, classes and genders. Together, people are fighting for women, life, freedom.
Journalist and author Gilda Sahebi, who is in close contact with many people in Iran, sheds light on the different aspects of the revolt: the role of music, the feminist perspective, the long history of violent oppression. She shows how Iranians counter the terrible brutality of the regime with the greatest force: Love.
"Sahebi was able to shine with her special expertise on (...) the protests in Iran, especially in the social networks, with great background knowledge and a differentiated view. This is political journalism for the 21st century!" — Jury statement, medium magazin
