This curated series of short films, produced primarily by women and gender minorities residing in Iran, was created in the aftermath of Jina (Mahsa) Amini’s passing. On 9/16/22, the 22-year-old Kurdish woman was arrested and beaten to death after being accused of improperly wearing her hijab by Iran's morality police. Amini's murder sparked a feminist movement and ignited Iran's largest protests since 2009. In response, the Iranian government ordered an internet blackout and issued nationwide restrictions on social media. Security forces cracked down on peaceful protests, leading to excessive force, sexual assault, disappearances, and more. The voices behind KEEP LEFT exist boldly by embodying various forms of resistance against their oppressors, exploring topics including immigration, childhood, and bodily autonomy. by Brittne Lunniss
