In Anna-Sophia Richard's short film "My Orange Garden," Faravaz Farvardin's love for singing shines despite the oppressive restrictions faced by women in Iran. Faravaz, who faced imprisonment for singing illegally in public, escapes to Berlin where she embraces her identity, femininity, and worries for her homeland. The film poignantly explores the connection between gender control and societal repression, highlighted by Faravazâs powerful vocals and emotional reflection on her experiences and aspirations. Her journey illustrates the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity and injustice.
I sang illegally many times in public, and my love for singing keeps me alive in a society that seeks to silence women.
Suppressing women is the key to control an entire society, and through my music, I shine a light on this injustice.
