After crackdowns on street protests in Iran, a group of students and civilians turn to a new form of resistance: filming the unrest from behind their windows to create an alternative archive that challenges the state’s official records. When a woman is shot while recording from her car window, Mehraneh, a film student writes her a letter, recalling her own memories of the protests. As she writes, one question lingers: Can a revolution happen from behind a window?
