Last Sign: Life and Death of Iranian Doctor Homa Darabi

It is February 1994. In the middle of a square in Tehran, an Iranian woman douses herself with gasoline. She shouts Down with oppression! Long live freedom! Long live Iran! and sets herself on fire. Shortly afterwards, it is announced worldwide that the Iranian pediatrician and freedom fighter Homa Darabi has publicly committed suicide.

A final sign is the shocking story about the life and death of Homa Darabi, recorded by her sister Parvin. It is the life story of a highly gifted woman, who is brought to the brink under pressure from the strict Islamic regime. Who, in order to save her soul and in a last attempt to point out to the world the inhuman oppression of women in her country, chooses a terrible death.
