unlabelledView post →This morning I came across the 2024 film "Reading Lolita in Tehran". The opening lines hit hard: “As Islamic morality squads stage arbitrary raids in [1980] Tehran and as fundamentalists seize hold of the universities…” It felt painfully familiar. Our universities are falling—one by one.

unlabelledView post →The film adaptation of "Reading Lolita in Tehran" is a reminder of the brutality of Iran's regime particularly concerning women.
