Mahsa Amini was arrested by the country's morality police and died while in custody. Since then massive protests have erupted around the country and women have taken off their roosaries – what people in the west commonly know as a hijab. In Iran, it's a scarf that loosely covers your head. Shahrzad Yekti lived the first 13 years of her life in Iran under the rule of the Islamic Republic before moving to.
"There are people, young girls and boys my age going out in the streets of Iran getting hit by bullets, all kinds of bullets, they're losing their eyes, their limbs, risking everything - for me to sit here in front of a camera to talk about them what do I have to lose?" Yekti said."Everyone is coming together being out on the streets finally seeing that they need to come together as young as seven," said Yekti.
