Rage Against the Regime: Iran is a gripping two-part documentary that delves into the extraordinary stories of resistance in Iran over decades of authoritarian rule. Directed by James Newton, it highlights the bravery of individuals who risked everything to challenge the regime. From striking steelworkers and political prisoners to women defying mandatory hijab laws and sneaking into football stadiums, these harrowing and inspiring testimonies paint a vivid picture of resilience.

Part one: We Are Like Raindrops aired last night and is receiving brilliant reviews. Ella has worked with the director before and was looking forward to working with him again on episode 2 which is showing next Wednesday. It focuses on the stories of the women who took on the Iranian regime, with the protest spreading across the country until the resulting crackdown led to arrests, injuries and deaths. Ella said “I found the contributor testimonies very powerful and wanted to be sure to show the continuing cost of their bravery in protesting and speaking out against injustice”.

Part two will air on Wednesday 4^th Dec on BBC Two
