Images of her last moments were captured on cell phone video and within hours appeared on computer screens, bringing the protests to the attention of the world and making Neda a symbol for an Iranian revolution. This documentary tells the personal story of the young Iranian woman and her tragic death, while also exploring the larger Iranian struggle that took place and brought many to rally around her image.
