Saba who dances, Saba who liberates
from 12 years old
Women in Iran are forbidden to dance. Saba was born there, but her body has never accepted that ban: since she was a child, she imitated her mother, who danced secretly in the living room. Arriving in Italy, Saba can finally perform without fear, but her heart remains in Iran: Saba returns, her passport is taken away, and she is threatened. Saba realizes that dance will be her personal act of rebellion and makes a promise to herself: wherever she is, she will tell the world about what is happening in her country. Federico Taddia and Saba Poori (Saba Dancing Hope, Mondadori) tell the story of those who, at the risk of their lives, take their cry for freedom to the streets. With them, Matteo Corradini.
