DESCRIPTION:The Lion Women of Tehran\n\nby Marjan Kamali\n\nIn 1950s 
 Tehran\, seven-year-old Ellie lives in grand comfort until the untimely 
 death of her father\, forcing Ellie and her mother to move to a tiny home 
 downtown. Lonely and bearing the brunt of her mother’s endless 
 grievances\, Ellie dreams for a friend to alleviate her 
 isolation.\n\nLuckily\, on the first day of school\, she meets Homa\, a 
 kind girl with a brave and irrepressible spirit. Together\, the two girls 
 play games\, learn to cook in the stone kitchen of Homa’s warm home\, 
 wander through the colorful stalls of the Grand Bazaar\, and share their 
 ambitions of becoming “lion women.”\n\nBut their happiness is disrupted 
 when Ellie and her mother are afforded the opportunity to return to their 
 previous bourgeois life. Now a popular student at the best girls’ high 
 school in Iran\, Ellie’s memories of Homa begin to fade. Years later\, 
 however\, her sudden reappearance in Ellie’s privileged world alters the 
 course of both of their lives.\n\nTogether\, the two young women come of 
 age and pursue their own goals for meaningful futures. But as the political 
 turmoil in Iran builds to a breaking point\, one earth-shattering betrayal 
 will have enormous consequences.\n\nJoin Meeting:
