Indiepix Classics: Women Without Men (DVD)

Adapted from Shahrnush Parsipur's magical realist novel of the same name, WOMEN WITHOUT MEN defiantly portrays the intertwining lives of four Iranian women of different class backgrounds during the summer of the 1953 coup d état, a pivotal moment in history when an American-led, British-backed mission to overthrow the Prime Minister and reinstall the Shah to power erupted in the streets of Tehran.
