New film tells story of woman who survived Iran prison fire

Season 2025 Episode 327 | 5m 39s

Thousands of Iranian protesters were arrested in the months after the death of Mahsa Amini in 2022, following her arrest for improperly wearing her hijab. Many spent time at the notorious Evin prison in Tehran, where a fire broke out one night. A new short film, “That Night,” shares one survivor’s account of the fire. Ali Rogin speaks with the film’s director Hoda Sobhani for more.
