Emily Atef Tapped To Direct Movie About Farah Pahlavi, The Last Empress Of Iran
Emily Atef has been tapped to direct the Untitled Farah Pahlavi, Last Empress of Iran, Feature Film.
As Deadline announced last summer, under a newly formed collaboration with Women of the Movement producers Serendipity Group and John Powers Middleton, who Her Majesty authorized her life rights to, a documentary and a scripted project were in the works. The film will explore the life of Shahbanou Farah Pahlavi, focusing on the resilience of a woman who, despite an exile lasting more than 45 years, and mourning the loss of her husband and two children, remains deeply devoted to her duty as a sovereign and attached to her homeland. Against this grand scale of history, we hope to tell the personal story of a singular life—an intimate journey into the struggles and triumphs of an unconventional woman, and her enduring humanity against the tides of change.”
