The Circle

Compelling and shocking drama following the struggle of Iranian females to survive in a society which refuses them even the most basic human rights if they are not with a husband or male relative, focusing in part on the problems of three women attempting to start afresh after their release from prison. However, without a man to vouch for them, they find they have no choice but to resort to drastic and depressing measures. Fereshteh Sadr Orofai, Maryiam Parvin Almani and Nargess Mamizadeh star in this controversial, award-winning film, which is banned in Iran
