Sahyeh Sorkh is a poetic examination of the state of bearing witness. Following the Iranian turmoil and demonstrations of 2009, a young woman living in San Francisco, attempts to make sense of the disparity between the mundane tasks of her daily life and the turbulence imposed upon those who challenge socio-political structures. Simple daily activities in one’s apartment take on symbolic meanings, reflecting the inner labor of a character caught between emotional and geographical poles.
