• At its core, 'The Seed of the Sacred Fig' is a rallying cry for the bravery of Iranian girls and women who defy the country's oppressive regime, with Rasoulof drawing from real-life protest footage.
• Rasoulof, who was arrested in 2020 for his films criticizing the Iranian government, infuses the movie with a sense of urgent, righteous fury that'll leave you shaken long after the credits roll.
