I hold a Master’s degree in Social Communication and have worked for many years as a social journalist. Coming from a family with a background in filmmaking, and driven by my own social engagement—particularly in the areas of women’s rights and ethnic minority issues—I was inspired to explore documentary filmmaking. After completing a one-year filmmaking program at the Iranian Youth Cinema Society, I began conducting research and producing short documentaries. In addition to filmmaking and research, I currently teach at universities and film schools, where I mentor students in cinema and media fields. I am also active as a social advocate, continuing my efforts to raise awareness on social justice issues through both educational and creative platforms. Documentary filmmaking has become a powerful tool for me to amplify underrepresented voices and explore overlooked aspects of cultural and social life in Iran and beyond.
