Fan Light Motion Detector Switch



Look what I found: a Filmon on Iranian women supporters. I quote from the post on the blog found Rain, sun, wind and rocks:


Original title: Off side
Director: Jafar Panahi
Genre: Comedy Drama
Production: Iran 2006
Duration: 88 '


Stadium May 8, 2006 in Tehran Iran-Bahrain game valid for the qualification to the World Cup Germany 2006.
Confusion reigns supreme, dozens of bus loads of supporters arriving at the stadium ... all boys. Iran has denied women to attend a game at the stadium, because " is in contact with men who are not their families, because they could hear the insults, and because it is not a place for girls! !.
And instead dozens of girls defy the rules, knowing that the consequences will be severe, to the prison, not to mention the disgrace that would cause their families ... And they do it in a thousand ways, disguised as boys, covered with flags and posters of the players, even dressing up as soldiers.
After Circle (2000) Panahi returns to deal with the status of women in Iranian society and does so with his usual look documentary (the film was shot in the stadium during the game). Influenced by political ideology and religious male power Offside is stigmatized in a generation, a minority that imposes prohibitions obsolete.
