Stolen Revolution is the latest film by director Nahid Persson Sarvestani that claims to be a film about the search for information on her brother's final fateful days at the hands of the Shaw of Iran during the 1979 Islamic Revolution. The film does deal with this to some extent but more importantly than that, peels back some very uncomfortable and insightful layers of insight into war, repression, and spirit of soul.

Sarvestani, through the stories of five fellow female activists, exposes the truths of the prisons of the Islamic regime and what it took for each woman to overcome the terrors they faced. It is a story of strength and courage, and resilience of nature and will. It is also a must see especially for instructors of psychology and genocide studies.
