Throwing Off The Veil in Iran
How a selfie started a mass movement to allow women more freedom in Iran.
When Iranian activist Masih Alinejad posted a picture of herself driving without a hijab, she had no idea what she was starting. Five years later, thousands of women have joined her movement against the mandatory hijab, and they have become a force for the Iranian government to reckon with. The 91热爆's Nassim Hatam has been following the story.
