Producer/director/editors Sara Khaki and Mohammadreza Eymi speak with passion about their Oscar nominated cinema vérité film Cutting Through Rocks, the first Iranian feature documentary to be so honored. The project, eight years in the making, follows a mid-wife in a rural Iranian village, who becomes the first woman elected to local office—and begins challenging deeply rooted traditions, from child marriage to women’s land rights. It is a master study in small town power.
