Special Episode: 'A Sisters' Tale'

As It Happens

In a feature interview, Nil Köksal speaks to Iranian filmmaker Leila Amini about her sister’s journey to become a singer — and the film it inspired.

Living in Iran, and married to a less than supportive husband, Nasreen Amini’s dream isn’t just unlikely, it’s dangerous. With translation from ‘A Sisters’ Tale’ producer, Afsaneh Salari, Leila explains what compelled Nasreen to pursue her singing goals against all odds — and what it’s like to see the documentary they made together premier at the Toronto International Film Festival.
