In places like Iran, where women’s voices are being silenced, the courage to tell a story comes at great risk.
When Filmmaker Farbod Ardebili wanted to tell the powerful story of a fearless female singer of a death metal band in Iran, he knew he would need a safe, secure way to connect with his film crew.
In order to reduce the risk to his cast and crew, Farbod directed the whole story using WhatsApp. This way, he could shed light on the struggles and aspirations of his characters, while also revealing the depth of women’s rights and free speech issues in Iran.
Watch as Farbod talks about his challenging yet incredible experience making FORBIDDEN TO SEE US SCREAM IN TEHRAN with the CEO of WhatsApp, Will Cathcart.
We are proud to be the impact partner for this movie and are incredibly grateful to WhatsApp for making it possible to tell this story.

We're ecstatic to unveil our latest endeavor - An Army of Normal Folks! 🙌
Our goal? To create an Army of everyday superheroes like YOU who are committed to positive change! 👊
Look no further than Coach Bill Courtney for a shining example of this mission. In a Memphis neighborhood where young men are often challenged by generations of poverty, Bill has helped them steer the ship towards a brighter future.
The results? A whopping 31 out of the 32 seniors under his wing soared off to college in his last two seasons. 🎓
Echoing Bill’s words, “it's not all these fancy suits on CNN or Fox who will change our world. It's An Army of Normal Folks” - that's us. That's YOU!
To fuel this movement, we're launching our podcast, "An Army of Normal Folks." Let's come together, amplify our voices, and reshape our nation – one story at a time. 🎙️🎧
So, what are you waiting for? Join us in this exciting journey. Watch our launch video and sign up for the Army.

"One person can start a movement."
Our original short film FREE TO CARE premiered at Mountainfilm in Telluride, CO at the end of May to a standing ovation.
Lisa Creason's story of changing an unjust law in Illinois is remarkable. There are still 15 states, though, where she could not be a nurse today because of her criminal record – and Colorado is one of those states. That is why the film premiered there. We plan to elevate Lisa’s story with this film to help change these unjust laws.
Everyone deserves the right to pursue their passion and be free to care. Keep up with the film: https://freetocarefilm.com/
