FRACTURED S03E01 "ONE SOLUTION, REVOLUTION!" -

SHOW NOTES:
Mahsa (Jina) Amini, a Kurdish woman was killed by the morality police in Tehran on September 16th 2022. Morality police claimed that Mahsa died of a heart attack, however other women detained with her testified that she was treated very brutally by the police for resisting the assaults. The official reason for arresting Mahsa was the accusation that her hijab was not covering her hair enough, and that her jeans were too skinny.

Mahsa’s death started another wave of protests in Iran. Young people went out on the streets demanding democratic changes. The #Women_Life_Freedom movement spread not only in Iran, but also outside throughout the world. The regime responded with brutal force arresting, torturing and killing many protesters. As the resistance grew, a widespread Internet blackout was imposed along with nationwide restrictions on social media.

In our Season 03 Premiere of Fractured we cover the topic of the freedom movement in Iran with a star of Apple TV+ series “Tehran” - Shila Ommi and an Iranian artist and activist in Athens- Eli Fazlollah.
