After being photographed at a protest in Vancouver, Sahar (Pegah Gahfoori) faces dire consequences from Iranian authorities, resulting in the loss of financial support and a forced choice between staying in Canada or returning home.
Filmed in Vancouver, ONE MUST WASH EYES is an impactful debut feature by writer, director Sepideh Yadegar. The film also features a very personal connection for many of the cast and crew who are Iranian Canadians and particularly Sepideh, who became a refugee in Canada under similar circumstances to Sahar, her lead character.
