A short-film by four media students from the American University in Dubai seeks to shed light on the inner struggles women face in conservative societies and how women must be confident to make their own choices and decisions. The four students with a passion for digital production and story-telling are determined to **t only get their senior project completed, but to send a message across about women?s rights and empowerment in the Middle East through a 12-minute film they will be shooting in an area of Dubai that has retained its rural charm. Mahkameh Kazemi, the co-writer and director, says the storyline is inspired by a true story from a village to the south of Iran that is consistent with other stories she?s heard about women back in Iran.
