Neda Agha-Soltan dies on a Tehran street on June 20, 2009, shot during the protests that erupted after Iran's disputed presidential election, and cell phone video of her final moments spreads online within hours, turning her into the face of the uprising for people who never knew her name. Director Antony Thomas gets access most journalists could not: Neda's family inside Iran, home movies of her as a daughter, a fiancee, a friend, and footage recorded on the day she died that had not been shown before. The film moves between that private record and the public one, tracing how a single piece of amateur video, filmed on a phone and passed hand to hand past government censors, became evidence, symbol, and rallying point at once. It also lays out the election dispute and crackdown that put her on that street in the first place. The result is a portrait built from two kinds of footage that were never meant to end up together, a family's home movies and a stranger's cell phone recording of a death.
