Cutting Through Rocks
Cutting Through Rocks
A big hit at the 2025 Vermont International Film Festival and winner of the 2025 Sundance World Cinema Documentary Grand Jury Prize, Cutting Through Rocks is a stirring portrait of courage and conviction. In a remote Iranian village, Sara Shahverdi becomes the first elected councilwoman—with bold dreams of teaching teenage girls to ride motorcycles and halting child marriages. But when accusations question her motives, Sara finds her identity under siege. With intimacy, the film follows her fierce resolve to reshape tradition and reclaim agency.
