The fringes of Iranian society can be a lonely place, especially if you are a teenage girl with few resources to fall back on. Finding Home follows four girls striving to pull themselves out of the margins by attending a one-of-kind rehabilitation center in uptown Tehran. Forget about the Iran that you’ve seen before. With a virtually invisible camera, the girls of Finding Home take us on a never-before-seen tour of the underclass of Iran with their brave and defiant stories: Samira struggles to overcome forced drug addiction; Mitra harnesses abandonment into her creative writing; Sussan teeters on a dangerous ledge after years of sexual abuse; and Nazila burgeons out of her hatred with her blazing rap music. This groundbreaking documentary reflects a side of Iran few have access to or paid attention to: a society lost to its traditions with nothing meaningful to replace them and a group of courageous women working to instill a sense of empowerment and hope into the minds and lives of otherwise discarded teenage girls. View the teaser Directed by Hamid Rahmanian; Produced by Melissa Hibbard We need your help to finish this film Become a part of the new trend in independent filmmaking and get personally involved! Funding resources are scarce and it's getting more and more difficult for filmmakers to bring high quality content that doesn't bend to conventional notions of the news to a wide audience. We are only months away from the first screening and need $30,000 to get this film out the door. It seems like a lot of money but if everyone puts in something we can meet this goal in a matter of weeks! Make a difference! Forget about current politics! Finding Home bypasses the rhetoric and brings the audience smack in the middle of real life for girls living in the fringes. It tells the courageous stories of girls struggling to better their lives and shows how a group of strong-willed, dedicated social workers, psychologists and caregivers are facilitating that struggle. It’s a story that needs to be told. Tell you friends about this campaign and make a contribution today!
