Beyond the Fence • Directed by Arman Gholipour Dashtaki • 2018 • Iran

This short documentary follows a young girl named Behnaz, who arduously trains to become a professional footballer. The film is filled with moments of intimacy between Behnaz and her family, as well as humorous dialogue. It also captures Behnaz’s strenuous training sessions, in which she practices and prepares to become a professional player. But when she is given an opportunity to go to a bigger city to train and compete, her father does not permit it.
Dashtaki captures an unforgettable character who is bold enough to stand up for her passion, although she is ultimately unable to win out against the cultural stigma and the gender discrimination directed toward her.
