'Happening' Explores the Horrors of Abortions Being Illegalized
I have no idea how getting an abortion is still not a basic right at this point, but that means the fight is far from over. So, films like Happening are ever-relevant.
Gol Agha
When a cruel and lustful landlord tries to assault Ali Mohammad Sangari's wife, Ali Mohammad and his son, Gol Aqa, rush to save her. However, the woman is killed, and from then on, the father and son launch a rebellion against the landlord. Four years later, Ali Mohammad passes away, leaving Gol Aqa to continue the fight alone. Once, while wounded, Gol Aqa takes refuge in a house where the owner's daughter, Narges, nurses him back to health. During this time, they fall in love and eventually marry. On their wedding night, the landlord's men attack to capture Gol Aqa. Gol Aqa is killed, and Narges, still in her wedding dress, guns down her lover's killers before being killed herself.
