Summary:
Googoosh, Iran's legendary pop diva, was silenced following the 1979 Islamic revolution, when women singers were labeled "temptresses" and forbidden to perform publicly in the presence of men or to release recordings. Looks at her beginnings as a child star to her full-fledged adult career of unpreceedented scope, to silence and resurgence. Packed with clips from her films as well as concert footage, examines her image and cultural significance, and places her story in a political and historical context.
