Overview

In STOP, Next Chapter, Mahshid's journey is one of survival, courage and a continued quest for freedom. Trapped in a society that silences her voice and forces her to conform, she dreams of escaping a life defined by oppressive systems and deeply ingrained patriarchy. At 52, she knows she cannot endure the suffocating restrictions any longer, yet the road to freedom is fraught with impossible choices, sacrifices, and risks.

With the decision to fleeing and leaving everything she's known behind, she goes on a terrifying journey, determined to reclaim her dignity and self-worth, even if it means facing the unforgiving depths of the ocean.
