How to be a woman - Osama review by CH

Spoiler Alert
05/12/2022

Iran is back in the news in 2022……young women demanding that their voices be heard. The message of this film was a stark reminder of the oppression girls and women still suffer under these self serving medieval monsters and their lackey puppets of power.
